Penfold’s Max’s Shiraz

TASTING NOTE
Garnet red rim with blood plum core.
On the nose, it has fresh red fruits in particular cranberry and red currants, which dominate the aromatic spectrum. Wafts of wild white strawberries, fresh vanilla pods, and pannacotta cream encourage further exploration. A further swirl reveals subtle middle eastern spice manses of sumac and sweet paprika.
On the palate, the aromatic spectrum flows onto the palate with an invigorating lash of cranberries and red currants. It is a textured wine, evenly balanced with bright acidity and focused fine tannins supporting expressive red fruits. Oak-derived exotic spices of nutmeg and black cardamom pod add a layer of flavor complexity.
