Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2004
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe 'anti-Grange,' RWT is a single-region (Barossa) shiraz that is aged in 100 per cent French oak. In the case of the '04 that's 69 per cent new oak and 31 per cent one-year old hogsheads. The colour is nearly opaque. The nose an enticing mix of aromatic, dark red fruits with a blueberry undercurrent - a sure sign of high quality. On the palate the flavours are rich and saturated with vanilla cherry kirsch, floral, plum, licorice, smoky tobacco flavours and spicy, fine grained tannins. More finesse than power. This is a very fine RWT along the lines of the 2002. Seven years on from its first release and 10 years from the inaugural vintage RWT could be considered among the best red wine made at Penfolds. Made for the long haul.Tasted: 16 July 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $122.00 | 750ml | specialty |
