Penfolds Koonunga Hill Cabernet Shiraz 2020

Red plum, exotic aniseed and candied fennel add to the vibrant fruit mix that the nose suggests.....and unsurprisingly carries through to the palate. A slipperiness in texture, a succulence in acid profile and an elastic bounce on the palate. Subtle brioche/croissant pastry-like texture we have to assume is evidence of oak-derived maturation. Fine tannins, tamed and seamless.
