Penfolds Block 42 Kalimna Cabernet Sauvignon 1996

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaMade from the 1886 vines, all American oak. Opens with a very ripe cassis jam, blackberry, coffee and leather nose with mint, lanolin and pepper. The texture is very ripe and round but extremely supple, perhaps a bit too soft. However, the flavour intensity is fine with blackberry jam, spicy mint, orange rind and tobacco flavours. Very fine, much earlier to mature than the 707 and not as intense. Not For SaleTasted: 01 March 1999Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
