Taste Description
Taste Description
Nose
A very aromatic and fruit forward nose. A gentle swirl reveals an amalgam of forest fruits, conjuring thoughts of fresh berries dusted with icing sugar. Blackberry and blackcurrant notes indicate a cabernet inclusion. Spices emerge… nutmeg, canelé and juniper berry. The oak is beautifully integrated leaving a nutty, almond paste impression. Caramel fudge and chocolate eclairs suggest an oak derived sweetness. Further inspection reveals notes of lavender, black cherry, tomato leaf and prune.
Flavours and Palate
The sweet fruit aromatics follow onto the palate. Raspberry and mulberry flavours abound, generous and providing the palate with tremendous density. The fine, balanced acidity is driving the backpalate and providing succulence. There is a textural meatiness, evoking thoughts of baked Christmas ham. Sweet brioche and mocha hold court briefly before giving way to blonde tobacco and toasted cedar oak. The tannins are chalky and coat the palate. Sinuous and chewy with a long finish.

Vintage Conditions
The wine producing regions of France rebounded in 2022 after a challenging previous year, with an overall yield that was 18% higher than in 2021. The red varietals benefited from moderate summer temperatures coupled with refreshingly cool nights as the season progressed. The resulting wines exhibit pleasing fruitiness and structure—attributes aided by well-timed rainfall during late summer which curbed potential spikes in sugar levels. Overall, the vintage of 2022 has delivered some exceptional high-quality grapes across France's celebrated wine regions.
The Penfolds Team
Key to the success of Penfolds has been a lineage of visionary winemakers. There have only ever been four Chief Winemakers at the helm of Penfolds – Max Schubert, Don Ditter, John Duval and Peter Gago, each a custodian of a rich winemaking tradition that goes back for more than 170 years.
Our current Penfolds winemaking team has more than 100 years between them as Penfolds winemakers. They are constantly refining and improving their work, whilst honouring the winemaking techniques of their predecessors.
