This wine came recommended to me and I bought a couple of bottles based on that. In anticipation, I let the wine breathe in the bottle for an hour or two...
I was not disappointed. Obviously a class wine, and it showed in the nose being strong and smooth, the palate being just that cut above the cheapies and the feel being real top notch. Strong vanillan oak and a very smooth finish. I really liked this wine.
Am going to try a 2004 penfolds 407 next and that will be a real indicator.
For a $30plus wine, it didn't disappoint, but it didn't really havea 'wow' factor either. The Dorrien 'Growers' has that. Still, this is personal taste and I stand by my opinions.
