Penfolds Thomas Hyland Shiraz 2007


Being a big fan of Penfolds Products, this is my first tasting on this label.  None the less Penfolds never fail to deliver.

Colour is a vibrant rich red, attractive, with purple hues. Lifted and aromatic, the nose is perfumed and inviting, richly fragrant with dark stone fruits and chocolate, exotic spices and pepper notes integrating with an attractive vanilla bean character of background oak. Varietal spice of cinnamon courts assertive, youthful Shiraz fruits. An instantly appealing, alluringly drinkable wine, generously flavoured with lively red plum fruits and blackberry notes set against a fabric of ripe, rounded tannins and underlying savoury oak. A contemporary fruit-driven style with excellent depth and length, oak plays a supportive role, fruit, acidity and tannins command the lead, and hint of spices.  14.5% Alc
