Tasting Notes: The palate will surely surprise and enchant! A (very) textural, savoury and balanced acidity from the Baijiu is complemented by the rich fruit flavours of the shiraz to create a warming, elongated and intense palate which continues and continues. The aniseed comes to the fore, balanced by the savoury rich plum, cherry and black fruit characteristics which provide a rounded intensity and length. Curiosity let Penfolds to break the conventions of traditional winemaking from the very beginning; to experiment and innovate in order to create the unforgettable. Lot. 518 Spirited Wine with Baijiu respects that legacy in true Penfolds style. A rich, complex, full-bodied hybrid, as floral and fruity notes of the Baijiu meet the bold signature style of our Fortified Shiraz.
