Penfolds Koonunga Hill Cabernet Sauvignon gives you the classic balance of spice and savoury notes backed by soft tannins. Well-regarded since launch, the Koonunga Hill Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the typical cellarability that all Penfolds wines are renowned for. The wine has excellent structure and length.
The palate is just as inviting. Plush, soft and approachable. Mouth coating cabernet tannins provide ample length. The aromatic profile is mirrored in detectable flavours... Black Forest cake, dark fleshy satsuma plum, brown sugar spice, Dutch cocoa powder, ground coffee. Distinctly cabernet sauvignon with very generous sweet fruit and great depth of flavour.
Colour: Deep crimson core with ruby red hues.
Aroma: The aromatics are bright and beautifully perfumed with a concoction of wild fruits of the forest. Blackberry notes rendered as sweet cassis complimenting Black Forest cake with cherries. Chocolate sponge with whipped cream. Sweet, minced fruit with brown sugar, cardamon, clove and bay leaf spice.
Palate: Oak derived spice makes its presence felt by way of Hungarian paprika and celery salt. There are layers of flavour, the sweetness of hazelnut chocolate balanced by savoury pan-seared pancetta, sandalwood and salted nori. A fine line of acid and talcy tannins make for a supple and plush mouthfeel.
Food Pairing: Roasted spring lamb served with rosemary roasted portobello mushrooms.
