Penfolds Max's Shiraz 2022 750mL

Tasting Notes

Colour: Purple, quite vibrant at the core. Aroma: Shiraz wearing its varietal colours with pride. The nose is first greeted by generous red fruits: punnets of cherries, raspberries, and cranberries. A suggestion of fresh ripe plums reinforces the identity. Complementary notes of white fruit cake, summer pudding and vanilla sponge round out the sweet notes. A wet steel ferrous note provides further intrigue, while savoury Mediterranean vegetables add to the generous allure. Palate: The palate is wonderfully smooth, with graphite-like silky tannins and steely acidity. The flavour profile leans into bright red currants, rhubarb, cranberry and goji with a suggestion of sourdough crust. Highly focused and precise with a mouthfeel that sharpens to a point. Very approachable upon release.
