Penfolds Max's Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Colour - Magenta core with crimson edges. Nose- A gorgeous amalgamation of two expressive varietals, each flattering the other in a synergistic union. Ripe cherry and Swiss milk chocolate aromatics invites further investigation. A second swirl releases cabernet varietalderived spearmint, interwoven with raspberry, cinnamon and fennel. Palate - A lovely balanced palate with fresh red currant and plum fruit backed by lively acidity. There is more than a hint of charcouterie with cured fennel sausage foremost in mind. Seasoned oak has integrated well to deliver a creamy texture and cola spice nuances. Fruit derived tannins are both fine and velvety
