Winemaker's Notes:

"Shows gorgeous dark fruit aromas and hints of flowers. Hints of jam. Full and chewy, with intense tannins and a mouth-puckering finish. This really grows on you. It's held back for the region. Leave it for three to four years before drinking...93" JamesSuckling.com 6/11 "Glorious, deep crimson-purple, with an alluring bouquet of black fruits, spice and cedary oak contributed by 14 months' maturation in 83% new French hogsheads. The medium- to full-bodied palate has layer-upon-layer of velvety blackberry fruit allied with notes of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of licorice and spice, silky tannins and quality oak completing the package...96" Australian Wine Companion 08/11 "Full-bodied and richly textured, with Penfolds' hallmark weight and structure on full display, the 2008 RWT shows a touch of the vintage's characteristic warmth, but only a touch. The cassis and blackberry fruit is plush, velvety and superripe, ending with hints of tobacco, mint and vanilla. It should drink well for at least a decade...93" WE 5/12
