2015 Magill Estate Shiraz

Vintage reviews

Magill Estate Shiraz – always a part of the Penfolds family, yet different.

A bigger/denser Magill Shiraz offer this year. A reflection of the vintage, remaining true to the Estate; its style, its place.

Partial barrel fermentation and new oak impact sensitively & positively – actively embraced by fruit, and endorsed by the rapidly receding contents of this taster's glass!

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

96/100

Very deep inky black colored, the 2015 Shiraz Magill Estate has a youthfully mute, broody nose of baked blackberries, preserved plums, crème de cassis and mocha with hints of tobacco, hoisin and cardamom.

Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and with great elegance and poise, this is a restrained, earthy, understated style with some playful exotic spice nuances coming through on the finish.
