Penfolds Max’s Shiraz Cabernet 750ml (ABV 14%)

Details

A classic Australian expression, balanced and bright with a modern twist. This wine delivers generosity of fruit from Shiraz together with solid Cabernet Sauvignon structure. Max’s Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon displays the Penfolds “stamp” inspired by Max Schubert, a winemaking legend in Penfolds history.

Nose – Notes of graphite and heady varnish to the fore. A distinctive blue-fruited elegance and gorgeous cranberry sweetness. An aromatic kaleidoscope of vanilla sponge, cannoli creaminess, asphalt, wet slate, juniper and pink peppercorn.

Palate – A salinity perhaps best described as salted plum? Coolness/flowing texture. Spearmint tea (fresh leaves) and lavender. Graphite from the nose continues as a theme on the palate, Black olive tapenade. Ylang Ylang, powdery-style tannins that are tapered on the palate. All clearly converging to a well-defined point.
