Penfolds, Magill Estate Shiraz other_regions It’s always based on 50+-year-old

It’s always based on 50+-year-old Grenache vines (95% or higher) and is aged all in older foudre

menthol and new leather are all laced throughout

A more deeply pitched and brooding nose only grudgingly reveals its aromas of cassis plum liqueur and pungent earth where the latter is also found on the vibrant and well-detailed big-bodied and tautly muscular flavors that deliver excellent depth and persistence

along with suggestions of fresh mushroom and white truffle

Penfolds, Magill Estate Shiraz other_regions It’s always based on 50+-year-oldThe 2016 Shiraz Magill Estate aged in 100% new oak (70% French and 30% American), which has left its cedary, vanilla mark on the wine, but in a balanced, harmonious way. It's a full bodied wine, with big berry fruit and lavish oak, yet those components are wonderfully judged, coming together in a fine, elegant wine that showcases the brand's home estate in the Adelaide suburbs. With only 15 cases for the United States, it will be tough to track down.
