It is magnificent. On the palate, this is rich and oxidative, with endless layers of opulent fruit, nuts and spice, with warming spirit through the finish. Winemaker James Godfrey is hailed in Australia for his longstanding and unwavering skill with fortified wine production, and the sleek masterclass that is this wine is testament to that. The acidity is strict on the palate, and this serves to balance the wine through the seemingly endless finish. The drink date seems a little useless, as the wine will drink interminably if stored correctly. 19% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety - \u003c\/strong\u003eTawny\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry - \u003c\/strong\u003eAustralia\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegion - \u003c\/strong\u003eSouth Australia\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtra - \u003c\/strong\u003eCork\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear - \u003c\/strong\u003eNV\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume - \u003c\/strong\u003e750mls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca id=\"more_desc_btn\" href=\"#pro_more_desc\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince 1844, Penfolds has built its reputation on experimentation, curiosity and an unwavering commitment to quality.
