Tasting Notes :
The 2019 Koonunga Hills Seventy Six Shiraz Cabernet from Penfolds is crimson with
a glossy and bright lustre. An instant ascent of fruits... lifted raspberry fruit jube/fruit pastille.
Moroccan spices and vanilla pod shroud meaty/crackling elements very Penfolds,
very Koonunga Hill! A skerrick of cedar oak / pencil shavings;
a reminder of the wine’s age at this point undoubtedly soon to be absorbed & concealed.
Balanced and complete. Spicy and fruit-driven... however,
this time it is blackberry not raspberry jubes on palate.
Non-obtrusive, yet just recognisable oak detected on finish.
Softened tannins and ‘just-right’ acidity invoke textural allure.
Ready herewith!
