Koonunga Hill by Penfolds

Shiraz / Cabernet
Southern Australia

13.5 % alc./ vol.
750 ml - $19

Synopsis: signature integration of fruit and oak, with rounded, soft tannins, nicely balanced with a sweet mid palate and well-defined finish. Initial flavours of fresh berries and vanilla merge into a spicy, savoury aftertaste. Oh yes they fucking do now. And - AND...the tannins have a gentle, mouth-coating grainy quality, elegantly framing the traditional style of the wine. A civilized,, contemplative drunk.

Rating: 3.3 of 5.
Feels like: 3.6

Penfolds is conveniently delicious with its screw off top and blues removing overtures.
