Penfolds RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017
RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz presents an admirable alternative to the multi-regional sourcing and American oak maturation that are hallmarks of Grange, expressing instead, single region Barossa Valley shiraz matured only in French oak. Vibrant nose, initially a life of trademark tar/bitumen and subtle V.A above scents of assorted capaccio meats, steak tartare, green olive, capers and rosemary, moving to patisserie scents of almost croissant and cinnamon bun, perhaps creme burlee glaze upon sitting/swirling. On the palate, medium bodies with a firm and binding structure. Mouth watering acidity assisted by chalky tannins and absorbed integrated oak. Currently youthful and energetic, yet this vintage already impatiently awaits its secondary and tertiary maturation phases. Peak drinking Now - 2037.
