2002 Penny's Hill Footprint Shiraz
An awesome red form the best performing rows, from the greatest vintage in living memory. Winemaker Ben Riggs is being lavished with praises from Australian and International wine critics to such an extent that we hope his feet remain firmly on the ground – Robert Parker is amongst his admirers stating “Mr Riggs, he makes damn fine wine.”Opaque black crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Superb aroma of ripe plums, Christmas pudding, liquorice, violets, vanilla, spice and confectionary. The palate delivers an exceptional flavour profile – explosive, with flavours of spice, mocha, blackberry, violet infusions, plum and liquorice. Perfectly balanced tannins. Exceptionally long aftertaste of black and white pepper, vanilla and violet infusions.
Cellar 3-4 years (2007-2008)
