Penfolds Rwt Shiraz 2012 750ml

Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2012 originates from a project that began in 1995 as the 'Red Winemaking Trial.' Since its official release in 2000, this wine has evolved beyond a trial to become a luxurious expression of Barossa Shiraz. Crafted from carefully chosen fruit prized for its aromatic richness and velvety texture, it offers a bold, modern interpretation of the Barossa terroir. Deeply colored and richly flavored, this Shiraz delivers luscious fruit sweetness, complex spices, savory hints, and smooth chocolaty tannins, all enhanced by 12 to 15 months of maturation in French oak barrels. Experience a refined, high-quality Barossa Shiraz that stands out in every glass. Peak drinking: 2017 - 2037 Halliday Wine Companion - 98 Points May explain why Kalimna Bin 28 is the least of the Bin series reds, for this wine takes the finest shiraz from the Barossa Valley once Grange has had its choice. The call is made early, because this wine spends 16 months in French oak hogsheads (75% new), finishing its ferment in that oak, separating it at birth from Grange in American oak. The bouquet abounds with black fruits, with sub-notes of dark chocolate, licorice and some charcuterie. The palate is drop-dead gorgeous, a curious description given its strongly savoury flavour range, but it achieves the unlikely. As with all these wines, the tannin structure is exceptional, the length prodigious.
