Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz-Cabernet, 2020

The fruit for this wine does not come from the Koonunga Hill Vineyard that produced the now famous 1976 Koonunga Hill Claret that was one of my introductions to Australian wine. But it is made in the style of that wine.

Very deep and dark crimson. Red and black fruit, plums and cherries more than berries. Also some beet root and sweet oak. Full bodied Shiraz in the middle; leafy Cabernet around the edges. Smoother on the palate than the last bottle we had a few months ago. Not much complexity at this point.

This wine and the Point Ormond wine we had last night are similarly priced. I far prefer the Point Ormond.
