(Barossa, SA)“A Provencal look-alike made from 41% Grenache, 40% Shiraz, and 19% Mourvedre aged 12 months in old French oak, reveals an attractive peppery, herbal, sweet cherry, and raspberry scented bouquet with plenty of spice and cedar. Ripe, opulent, and full bodied” 90/100 Robert Parker Jnr

Premium Wine List: Penfolds Bin 138 Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2005

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008


(Barossa, SA)’Slightly jammy and confectionary aromas of red plums, redcurrants and violets are backed by dusty, spicy notes of cloves and cinnamon, light mocha oak plus a distinctly tarry aspect. Forward and juicy, it’s vibrant and intense enough, but lacks great palate length, finishing with a savoury and slightly salty aspect and a lingering note of licorice. Backed by fine, restrained tannins, it’s an early drinker. (Barossa Valley, 87 points, drink 2007-2010 Jeremy Oliver)
