Note di degustazione
Smells much more than a year older than the 2008. Developed and a little bit leathery. Drought year. Salty finish. A little bit more like a conventional Barossa red than the 2008 – though no hint of sweetness or portiness. Well done! (JR)

The purple-colored 2007 Entity Shiraz spent 17 months in 30% new French oak, the balance in seasoned French and American oak. It displays an alluring nose of wood smoke, game, meat blood, Asian spices, and blueberry. Ripe and sweetly-fruited, this plush effort conceals enough structure to evolve for another 2-3 years. Drink this classy offering from 2012 to 2022. John Duval was the principal winemaker at Penfolds Grange from 1986 to 2002. Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com
Inky ruby. Dark berries, iron, Asian spices and cracked pepper on the nose. Silky in texture, offering sweet blackcurrant and blueberry flavors and supple tannins. Turns livelier with air, taking a turn to zestier red fruits while retaining power. Strikingly pure and juicy, with excellent finishing clarity and a strong echo of raspberry fruit.
