Penfolds Koonunga Hill Seventy Six Shiraz Cabernet 2018

Multi-regional blend, South Australia, from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra. The Penfolds Koonunga Hill 76 Shiraz Cabernet has a deep red, crimson rim. Familial, distinctly Penfolds. A retro wine refurbed in a modern mould. Raspberry/vanillin/chocolate/yoghurt aromatics impatiently leap from the glass. Oak? Yes, but ever so courteous! Youthful. Masses of fruit. Balanced, fresh, lush. Multi-dimensional - beneath a veneer of youth there awaits much more ... Patience. To sign off: pronounced chewy tannins and lively acidity, conveyed by a judicious 12-month rental of oak.
