Penley 'Special Selection' Shiraz 2002
(95 - Robert Parker)
"A brilliant effort, the 2002 Shiraz Special Select is one of the finest Shiraz cuvees I have ever tasted from the red soils of Coonawarra. Its dense inky/ruby/purple color is accompanied by sweet aromas of asphalt, charcoal, graphite, blackberries, and cassis. Rich and dense, with tremendous purity, wonderful definition, full-bodied power, and loads of sex appeal, this is a lusty, heady, complex, rich Shiraz to enjoy now and over the next decade."
