Region and Heritage
This 1995 Penfolds Shiraz is a classic multi-regional blend, sourced from Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, McLaren Vale, and Padthaway. Crafted in traditional seasoned oak vats for 15 to 18 months, it reflects Penfolds’ signature style—powerful yet refined with minimal oak influence.
Vintage Character
The wine displays a deep ruby to brick-red hue, showing the elegance of age. Aromatics include dark berries such as blackberry and raspberry, layered with subtle notes of mint, tobacco, and warm spices.
Tasting Profile
Rich and concentrated on the palate, it offers ripe raspberry and cassis, supported by forest floor earthiness, dark chocolate, and rounded tannins. The finish is long and savory, leaving impressions of dried plum, cocoa, and spice.
Drinking Window
Best enjoyed now while the wine is at its peak. Decanting recommended to enhance its mature complexity.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with braised beef, roasted lamb, game meats, or firm aged cheeses. Its depth and structure make it an excellent companion for hearty dishes.
