Blackberry, mulberry and dark cherry form a dense, expressive core, accompanied by liquorice, star anise and warming baking spices. As the wine opens, layers of dark chocolate, roasted chestnut and vanilla emerge, bringing savoury complexity to the concentrated fruit. The palate is generous and full-bodied, with plush texture balanced by firm, finely structured tannins and a freshness that keeps the richness in check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2017 vintage captures the distinctive character of RWT, a Penfolds expression of Barossa Shiraz that favours regional depth and supple richness over the more muscular profile of Grange. Hints of smoke, earth and roasted spice add another dimension, while the long, inky finish reflects the wine's concentration and capacity for development. Already compelling in its depth of flavour, it has the structure to evolve further in the bottle, gaining complexity as the fruit, oak and tannins gradually integrate. A strong choice for collectors of premium Australian red wine, it pairs naturally with slow-roasted lamb, richly flavoured beef dishes or game, and is well suited to a substantial meal shared over an extended evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Mulberry and Star Anise\u003cbr\u003eIntense aromas of blackberry, elderberry and mulberry mingle with liquorice, star anise and dark cherry, complemented by toasted vanilla, roasted chestnut and savoury hints of smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Dark Chocolate and Plum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConcentrated blackberry and dark plum flavours fill the palate, supported by rich chocolate-like tannins, warming spice and layers of vanilla and roasted nuts that bring depth to the wine's generous fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Inky Tannins\u003cbr\u003eThe finish is long and firm, with dark fruit and savoury spice persisting alongside drying, finely textured tannins and a subtle mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Deep, vibrant colour; the bouquet is very expressive, speaking of a legion of black fruits, licorice, plum and spice, none of which prepare you for the sheer power of this amazing wine and its untold depths.” James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion, 98 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Medium deep colour.
