Expert Reviews

97 Points. James Halliday - Wine Companion. 1 August 2017

Bottle no. BX084. The quixotic RWT (Red Wine Trial) name used since '87 now has a bin number and a bottle number, the latter to thwart counterfeiting. It completed fermentation in French hogsheads, followed by 17 months maturation. The power and length of the wine is awesome, as is the price - but it's what the global market is prepared to pay.

Winery Profile

Australia's winemaking history of less than two hundred years is brief by European measures though, like Europe, punctuated by periods of extreme success and difficult times. From the earliest winemaking days Penfolds has figured prominently and few would argue the importance of Penfolds' influence on Australia's winemaking psyche.

Without the influence of Penfolds the modern Australian wine industry would look very different indeed. Sitting comfortably outside of fad and fashion, Penfolds has taken Australian wine to the world on a grand stage and forged a reputation for quality that is without peer.

Penfolds' reputation for making wines of provenance and cellaring potential might suggest a mantle of tradition and formality is the preferred attire of a company with so much history to defend. But to label Penfolds as simply an established and conventional winemaker, would be to confuse tradition with consideration and to overlook the innovative spirit that has driven Penfolds since its foundation, and continues to find expression in modern times.

If there is anything traditional about Penfolds, it is the practice of constantly reviewing the wines it already does well, and continuously evolving and refining styles as vineyards mature and access to ever older and more varied vineyard sites improves.

95 Points. Campbell Mattinson - Wine Front. 6 October 2016

I don’t have an updated bottle-image for this wine but I notice on the Penfolds website that the label now includes the words Bin 798 – see here. It’s not mentioned on the press release itself so it’s a “soft” launch of a new Bin number. Penfolds RWT is of course Barossa Valley, Shiraz, all French oak hogsheads (Australian coopered), 70% new, the remainder 1-year-old oak.

It has you cruising for a bruising and then it just brushes past you with the lightest of touches. This is Barossa shiraz in its black tie best. It’s rich, it’s black, it’s carved with tannin and yet it’s soft and svelte. You’ve signed on the dotted line before you’ve thought through the repayments. The release notes mention chestnuts. It’s not a bad call: there are nutty notes here but they’re sweet and smoky. There’s a whiff of coffee. A sizeable surge of classic blackberry and plum, pegged to soy and earth. Undeniable shiraz.
