Written Notes

Bright ruby. Red fruits, anise, spices, fruit driven nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, red fruits, anise, some spices, juicy, good length. 88

  • 88p

Bright red. Aromas of cherry, black raspberry and pungent flowers, with a savory herb nuance in the background. Appealingly sweet and fleshy on the palate, offering juicy red fruit preserve, cherry-cola, rose pastille and allspice flavors that take on a smoky aspect with air. Concentrated but lively as well, showing repeating cherry and floral notes on the long, gently tannic finish.

  • 92p

Medium crimson. Fresh strawberry, red cherry, cola aromas with herb garden notes. Well concentrated minerally style with pure strawberry, red cherry chinotto, hint roasted walnut flavours, fine slinky textures, attractive mid-palate viscosity and integrated fresh acidity. Finishes chalky and minerally. A simple flavourful pinot noir with typical Penfolds volume and richness. Seal; cork Drink Now – 2026 13.5% alc 90 points
 
A lightly structured pure-fruited Pinot Noir with plenty of varietal definition and freshness. Modest in score but authentically Penfolds. Best for early drinking. 
 Tasmania, Henty & Adelaide Hills
 Seven months in 24% new and 76% seasoned French oak barriques

Pinot noir. Tasmania, Henty, Adelaide Hills. 7 months in French oak barriques (24% new). 20% wholebunch.

Very very pretty aromatics, rosewater, strawberry, green olive, summer raspberry, a hint of kirsch, some orange peel and a lick of liquorice/aniseed/fennel flower. The palate is silky and pretty, the length of flavour pulls the characters from the nose over the tongue and through into the finish. Juicy, bouncy, almost silky and a hint of stem. Like it. More ‘pinot’ than ‘Penfolds’, which is interesting coming from a house with such a strong red style.
