Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2001
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaRWT is a single-region (Barossa Valley) shiraz whose initials stand for 'Red Winemaking Trial. It was the working name affixed to the developmental wines as early as 1995 when former chief winemaker John Duval began work on the initial bottlings. The '01 has a unique spicy, pencil lead, coffee, saddle leather nose with peppery, sandalwood, blackberry jam notes. Rich, concentrated and intense with good grainy tannins and blueberry, blackberry jam, leather, coffee and creamy vanilla flavours. The finish is long and intense with cassis and smoky pepper highlights. It needs another two to five years to really offer up its best.Tasted: 05 May 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $109.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
