Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz 2005 This is a more ribald version of Magill Estate Shiraz than we are perhaps accustomed to - it's always had quite a deal of oak thrown at it, but in this instance it carries it beautifully, and with a seductive swagger. What I particularly like is its structure: it's a very nicely formed wine, and yet the tannin is supple and smooth and beautifully integrated. It tastes of blackberries, olives, soy and smoky oak, and it finishes fresh and fruity. It's a very good Magill. Drink: 2013-2022. 94 points Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront Typically wild and meaty, this rustic and bony shiraz marries brambly flavours of blackberries, blackcurrants and dark plums with powerful floral notes, exotic spices and undertones of animal hide. With a relatively light touch for such an intensely flavoured shiraz, its lingering fruit and meaty, earthy undertones knit tightly with coarse linen tannins. It’s very long and harmonious, and likely to build in the bottle. (Adelaide Metropolitan, 18.6/95, drink 2025-2035) Jeremy Oliver
