Max Shiraz Cabernet - Penfolds

Color: Deep, dark, glossy purple.Nose: Fruity bouquet with aromas of juicy sour cherries, blackberries, and black currants, underpinned by a hint of herbal spice (sage, bay leaf) and light earthy notes.Taste: The dark fruit dominates the palate as well, with ripe sour cherries, blackberries, and black currants alongside fine notes of herbs and spices, a strong pinch of pepper, and delicate hints of crème brûlée (butter caramel, vanilla). The ripe, fine-grained, clearly focused, yet gently integrated tannins, as well as the deliberately cautious use of oak, give the wine backbone but otherwise remain in the background. The fruit dominates until the finish, making Max's Shiraz Cabernet a pleasantly approachable wine that offers maximum enjoyment upon release.
