Critics reviews

Richard Hemming MW 18.5/20

This is more like the Penfolds style than the 802-A, the fruit is beautifully sleek and potent. Finely brushed tannin, volume without weight. Meaty and savoury. Long. Champions the Cab/Shiraz blend convincingly.

Drink 2023 - 2048

A stunning red, rich, dense, complex and seamless, showing a mix of salted dark chocolate, black olive, cardamom, black pepper and Earl Grey tea details that highlight the huckleberry, boysenberry and spiced plum notes at the core. This keeps gaining momentum on the epic finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

Penfolds's 2018 802.B Superblend comes across as more refined and elegant than the 802.A. It's 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Shiraz, blended just after fermentation and then aged 19 months in 54% new French oak. The oak here is more integrated and subtler, while the density of the fruit is similar, with overtones of mocha and dark chocolate added to the mix of cassis and blackberry flavors. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and fine, with a long, lingering finish.

Drink 2023 - 2040
