The 2006 Penfolds RWT Shiraz has an intensity only Penfolds seems to be able to deliver. This is a classic wine with characteristic blackberry fruit and jam paste, licorice, black olive and dark chocolate. There is a hint of black pepper, and the oak is well integrated.
This is a wonderous wine. It is still fresh after 19 years, it is incredibly balanced on the palate with its firm tannins and the lingering finish.
This wine still has a long life ahead, maybe another 20 years. This RWT is world class.
Score: 98/+++
