2018 Penfolds Max’s Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
2018 Penfolds Max’s Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia Color : Magenta core with crimson edges.
Nose : A gorgeous amalgamation of two expressive varietals each flattering the other in a synergistic union. Ripe cherry and Swiss milk chocolate aromatics invites further investigation. A second swirl releases cabernet varietal derived spearmint interwoven with raspberry cinnamon and fennel.
Palate : A lovely balanced palate with fresh red currant and plum fruit backed by lively acidity. There is more than a hint of charcouterie with cured fennel sausage foremost in mind. Seasoned oak has integrated well to deliver a creamy texture and cola spice nuances. Fruit derived tannins are both fine and velvety.
