Penfolds Rwt Bin 798 Shiraz 2017 75oml

Penfolds RWT 2017 is plush, powerful Barossa Shiraz: dark fruit, spice and polished French oak. Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 2017 is the house’s iconic single-region Barossa expression crafted to spotlight aromatic lift, lush texture and a more opulent, French oak driven style. First released from the 1997 vintage (after its original “Red Winemaking Trial” beginnings), RWT has become a modern classic for collectors chasing serious depth with sleek refinement. Halliday Wine Companion - 98 Points  Matured for 15 months in French hogsheads (70% new). Deep, vibrant colour; the bouquet is very expressive, speaking of a legion of black fruits, licorice, plum and spice, none of which prepare you for the sheer power of this amazing wine, and its untold depths. James Halliday Tasting Notes Aroma: Mulberry, blackberry and plum with liquorice, star anise, vanilla spice and subtle toasted oak. Palate: Full bodied and concentrated, dark berries, sweet spice, savoury nuances and finely woven, chocolaty tannins.  Finish: Long, powerful and persistent with a polished, French oak frame and lingering spice.  Food Pairing / Serving Suggestions Serve at 16 to18°C and decant 30 to 60 minutes to let the perfume and structure open up. Ideal with roast lamb, chargrilled beef, peppery sausages, mushroom dishes, or aged hard cheeses.
