This Shiraz ticks all the boxes—full-bodied, beautifully balanced with a touch of sweetness, great tannins, and real complexity. As a longtime Penfolds loyalist, I only stumbled across this gem during a recent out-of-stock moment. The cheeky label caught my eye, and I decided to give it a go. Well... sorry, Penfolds—I've found my new favourite! This bottle delivers pure joy in every sip, and I’d happily pay extra for it. It’s the perfect price point whether you're hosting a dinner party, giving a gift, or just treating yourself. A delicious discovery I’m genuinely excited about!

Good fruit balance. Smooth to the pallet. Quaffable at less than twenty dollers.
