1996 PENFOLDS 407 CABERNET SAUVIGNON MAGILL SA


Ahhh Penfolds.  I suspected this was an overdue celebrity when this solid brown liquid filled the glass. Just to be sure, we decanted this for roughly 30minutes prior to tasting.  VERY plummy on the nose and EXTREMELY plummy on first sip.  Tannin structure has evolved perfectly, delivering rich, flavours like a plum cruiser entering the palate harbour.  There's just enough alcohol to leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling, as if waving the cruiser goodbye.  Loved every drop of it, again the rhetoric,  have we missed its prime?  8.5/10 8-7-2012
