Penfolds, Magill Estate Shiraz Vintage:2016 Otherwise there is once again

Otherwise there is once again fine richness to the round and plump flavors that possess a bit more volume if much less evident minerality on the already beautifully complex finale

but as it settles into the glass there are plenty of Margaux floral aromatics and soft berry fruits

youthfully austere and impeccably well-balanced finish

a generous sprinkling of white pepper and a hint of fennel

Penfolds, Magill Estate Shiraz Vintage:2016 Otherwise there is once againThe 2016 Shiraz Magill Estate aged in 100% new oak (70% French and 30% American), which has left its cedary, vanilla mark on the wine, but in a balanced, harmonious way. It's a full bodied wine, with big berry fruit and lavish oak, yet those components are wonderfully judged, coming together in a fine, elegant wine that showcases the brand's home estate in the Adelaide suburbs. With only 15 cases for the United States, it will be tough to track down.
