Ultra rare and absolutely beautiful!
.
Finding wines like this from the deep cellar allows for a deeper appreciation of how wines made back in these times were vastly different to how wines are produced today.
.
Australian wines from this era of winemaking are still some of the very best in the world..and this example is right up there with the very best of any French as a long lasting and beautifully crafted wine.
.
Produced as a private bottling for the famed Melbourne wine merchant Duke & Moorfield in 1975 this was a masterpiece from the hands of the great Max Schubert - and his final year at the helm as Penfolds Chief Winemaker.
.
This still amazing Shiraz of over 40 years has lasted the distance and continues to be an example of a wonderfully aged red wine.
.
Colour garnet red, with slight dark brick aura.
.
Aromas of earthiness, coffee, leather and sandalwood.
.
Taste is sweet fortified toffee and spice - still holding together with amazing black fruit, acidity & tannin is still present.
.
Max did this wine proud as a parting effort for his company!
.
Conjurers a mindset and feel of sitting in a Chesterfield in a Antiquarian book library reading history of the ANZAC's today.
.
Pure luxury, pure history and a genuine wine time capsual.
