Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Nosing reveals lifted scents of fleshy peaches and nectarines overlaid by dried honey, cashew, nougat and spice. Medium bodied with good richness and a lightly creamed yet fresh, elegant mouthfeel the palate sports flavours of ripe white peaches and nectarines married to notions of dried honey with underlying elements of citrusy nougat and spice. Clean dry finish, concluding with an aftertaste of white peaches and nectarines delicately laced with dried honey, biscuity oak, citrusy nougat and spice.
Cellar 3-4 years.

It has a come-hither aspect but the back half is elegant and long. A class act. Beautiful white peach, apple and pear with seamless integration of cedary/spicy oak. Delightful. Drink by 2021.

Certified organic. Brilliant very pale, almost water like colour with a faint tinge of green around the outskirts. Herbaceous gooseberry and unripe passionfruit aromas intermix with some grapefruit followed by citrus and a subtle grassiness. Racy flavours of gooseberries, light passionfruit and grassy citrus zip across the palate with some minerality on the crisp dry finish. Aftertaste of gooseberries, grassy citrus, light passionfruit and flinty mineral.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Semi translucent dark red colour with a light red hue. Nosing offers up aromatics of dark cherries and strawberries gently laced with dried clove and subtle violet notes followed by some meatiness and spicy cedar. Supple and spicy in the mouth the light to medium bodied palate features flavours of ripe cherries and strawberries over infusions of dried clove, smoky cedar and traces of dried meats. Velvet smooth tannins. Solid power wave with a long spicy dark cherry, ripe strawberry, subtle dried clove and lightly earthed dried meats aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

Outstanding colour displaying an impenetrable inky black core with a very deep bright dark red black hue. Pronounced ripe blackcurrant aromas sit alongside a hint of liquorice with an undercard of subtle black olive, cedary tobacco characters and faint spicy bay leaf notes. Tightly built and unyielding the palate has flavours of blackcurrant and subtle inky liquorice followed by earthy black olives, cedary tobacco characters and spice. Dry finish with firm tannins and vibrant acidity keeping everything tight and compact. Aftertaste of blackcurrant, earthy bay leaf, black olives, cedary tobacco characters and spice.
Cellar 8-10 years.

Is it worth the price? Yes, absolutely. You are buying history. You are buying part of the most valuable vineyard land in Australia, as rare as Romanee-Conti in Burgundy, both in reality beyond price or value because they will never be for sale at any price. The use of 100% French oak gives the wine as additional point of difference from Hill of Grace, in which American oak still plays a minor role. This to one side, the wine has superb colour, a racy, superfine palate of exceptional length and the balance that is endowed by that balance (or vice versa, it doesn't matter). Drink by 2040.

At the annual tasting of the Penfolds range – or the parts of the Penfolds range shown to the press – St Henri Shiraz is always served after the “bin” releases, and it always seems so profoundly different.
The stewed plums, the fresh boysenberry, the hint of leather, the general downplay of oak. It sits there, comfortable in its own skin, pretty much immune to the traffic of time. Move past the aromas with this release though and we see a fair bit if grunt; some meaty characters, a deep set of plums, almost a ferrous character, certainly peppercorns, florals. There’s a ramp of tannin here slightly outside the St Henri norm; it gives the wine a wee bit of strut. Just a wee bit. But we are certainly in excellent territory here. Drink 2021-2031+

Totally opaque black purple core with a dark purple red hue. The lifted nose dispels loads of blackpepper notes along with liquorice and dark plum aromas which sit atop dried meats, earthy vanillin cedar and spice. Medium to full bodied, concentrated flavours of spicy dark plums, blackberries and liquorice fill the mouth showing excellent richness. Underscoring the fruit are elements of smoky vanillin cedar, earth and blackpepper. Very savoury with an elegant, supple feel. Velvety yet structured tannins. Excellent depth with a long spicy dark plum, liquorice, smoky vanillin cedar, earth and blackpepper aftertaste.
Cellar 6-8 years.

The "Reawakening" marks 13 years since the distillery's re-opening in 2003 after it was mothballed in 2000. 6,000 bottles were produced.

Tasting note: Pale straw gold. Light to moderate fruity aromas (pear / apple), as well as pepper, vanilla, hints of peel and grassy freshness. The palate is middle-weighted, mildly waxy/ oily with delicate pear, green apple and grassy - gristy flavours. There's a flare of spice towards the crisp finish before low-key orchard fruits return. Youthful, easy drinking. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Musgrave's Pink Gin has all of the spice and flavour of Musgrave 11, only it's gentler and less spicy, instead, accenting the floral notes of the rosehips and the infused rosewater.

The rose is an eternal symbol of love and passion. Rose-scented oils still grace festive occasions, and exotic rosewater exalts our food and beauty regimes. Musgrave pink celebrates this flower of love and beauty employing the source of the rose, rosehip, which complements Musgrave's spicy nature. It's then infused with rose water for its timeless perfume. Beautifully packaged. 43% Alc./Vol.
