2011 Magill Estate
100% Shiraz from grapes grown on the remaining original land bought by Dr Penfold. Deep red and 95% opaque. Firm in tone but with no purple. Floral and fragrant nose with lots of deep purple cornflowers and raspberries. Poised and balanced entry, soft and restrained. High in acidty gives a thin feel to the texture. Hints of tannins and oak but the fruit is somewhat light. Raspberries show on the aftertaste and oaky finish. 85/100. Drunk 27-Mar-15.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
