DESCRIPTION
In 1973, Penfolds crafted an experimental Bin 170 sourced entirely from the nineteenth-century Kalimna Vineyard in the Barossa Valley. 100% Shiraz, all of the grapes were picked from Block 3C – a venerated parcel that is often included in the Grange blend. In 2010, the Penfolds winemakers kept Block 3C separate, realising they had the potential to re-create a Penfolds classic.
Classic Kalimna, with trademark red fruits and a familial old-worldliness.\nVia: juniper and blackberry fruits, and raspberry stick and red liquorice flavourings.\nAnd: a carbon black ‘sumpiness’/quince paste amalgam laced with a ferric/formic\npiquant lift. Also: possibly oak-induced, barrel-fermented eugenol/pink peppercorn/fresh\ngreen-tobacco aromatics.
\nViscous, Velvety, Voluminous. (Editors note: the BOLD V is deliberate)\nA ‘tannin tsunami’… riding a ripe and even wave across the palate.\nOak totally absorbed, allowing blueberry fruits and a black-pudding textural\nimprint to stake ownership during this phase.\nAn energetic tension impatiently awaiting to be… unleashed, tamed?!\nCommands attention, requests little, appreciates your patience.
