I am pretty sure that all wines vary year on year....it depends on the growing conditions and of course the sun and rain....but my Father in law led me to believe that this Penfolds wine was sweet and luscious.

I did not find it sweet...and it definitely was not luscious....I could not drink red wine if you paid me.
I have been told that I have a very ‘juvenile’ palate....which in layman’s terms means that I should stick to cream soda or Tizer.
Although I did once get legless on a glass (yes...just one glass) of Vinsanto in Santorini(this is technically red, but it is more like Port)...and far stronger than it tastes
