Penfolds shiraz review and transient history
When a wine is born, it is given a name. When the word 'Penfolds' appears in that name, the wine has a lot to live up to. In fact , it's shares the same stable as amongst the most expensive wines globally , Penfolds Grange, with the 2004Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon
limited edition of this premium wine selling for $168,000 bucks a bottle. Limited to a 12 bottle run (essentially they were not bottles, but blown glass 'ampoules' which have no screwcap, cork, or any seal at all), that sure is a pretty sizeable ticket for any sort of alcoholic libation. But according to all reports, for the lucky few that got to taste this wine, it was worth every cent.
Sadly if you are like me, a bottle of wine for that price is most likely not going t be sitting on my bench anytime soon. Nonetheless that does not mean you can't enjoy a Penfolds wine, and get that distinct Penfolds taste.
A wine that provides not only top shelf taste, but incredible good value, is Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz. Originating from vineyard in the Barossa Valley, a bottle of this Shiraz This wine needs to be tasted to be credited. I never imagined a wine that tastes this good (and with the Penfolds label), may supply such excellent value. The price? $9.99. Yes, you read in the correct way. Only $9.99. One of the greatest things about Penfolds wines is that they cater for all tastes and price ranges.
It's got a full bodied taste, with berry overtones and a definite sweetness. While the after-taste is barely green, it isn't something that downplays the quality and taste of the wine. Overall, at $9.99 a bottle, with the Penfolds name, the Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz is a wine worth following - especially for fans of Shiraz generally.
