Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz 2005 750ml, South Australia

Expert Reviews

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 92 pts - The 2005 Magill Estate Shiraz was barrel-fermented and spent 14 months in French and American oak. It delivers a super-expressive nose of smoked meat, game pencil lead, pepper, blueberry, and blackberry leading to an elegant Shiraz with superb depth and grip. This lengthy effort will provide pleasure through 2020. - Feb 2009

James Halliday's Wine Companion - 93 pts - Intense hue; an interesting wine, with a mix of sweet fruit and more herbal characters; good, but at this stage not in the class of the '04. Date tasted 25 Sep 2007. Drink by 2025.
