1998 Penny's Hill Specialized Shiraz Cabernet Merlot

The 1998 Penny’s Hill Shiraz made a spectacular front page debut on Vintage Direct and has received great praises from wine lovers internationally. This wine is made from a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot, and is a touch lighter and more elegant than the straight Shiraz, but that’s not to say it lacks depth or complexity. The parcel consisted of 503 cases of which only a small number remain. The wine shows totally opaque crimson colour. Excellent perfumed nose, showing the complexity of the blend and oak treatment. Aromas of violets, confectionery, spice, mulberry and vanilla. Mouthfilling palate with flavours of truffle, confectionery, spice, mulberry, cedar and blackcurrant. Excellent length and depth, with fine grained tannins, perfect balance and long liquorice, blackcurrant and spice aftertaste. Cellar 4-5 years.
