silky polish that unfolds into a layered but inward finish laden with sturdy

lively texture and enough fine tannin to keep it drinking nicely for another decade

the 2008 will really start to blossom with five or six years of bottle age

Not flashy but very pleasing

Good quality here

Penfolds, The Max Schubert Cabernet Shiraz Vintage:2012 silky polish that unfolds intoThis brand new Penfolds label pays homage to Grange founder, Max Schubert. Deep garnet purple in color, the 2012 The Max Schubert Cabernet Shiraz offers a slowly evolving, complex nose with baked berry, cassis and cedar notes over spice box and earth hints. Medium bodied with a rock solid foundation of grainy tannins and refreshing acidity, the muscular fruit is densely packed at this youthful stage, leading to a long if somewhat restrained finish.
