Penfolds - Koonunga Hill Seventy Six Shiraz Cabernet 2012

South Australia

The nose is aromatic, fine and relatively intense. It reveals notes of undergrowth and leather combined with small notes of blackberry, cassis as well as a fine touch of strawberry (discreet), oak, fine spicy notes and a discreet hint of Sichuan pepper. The palate is fruity, mineral and offers a good volume, fat, suavity, juicy fruit and a good structure. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, crushed strawberry and black cherry associated with discreet touches of raspberry, cherry, chocolate, oak, a fine hint of liquorice as well as discreet hints of toasted oak / sweet spices (vanilla…) and an imperceptible hint of caramel.

Score : 15
