The consignor developed an interest in wine a few years ago, drawn to the way each bottle reflects a mix of history, place, and craftsmanship. He has completed WSET Level 3 with distinction and is preparing for Level 4. Most of the bottles in his collection were purchased through Canadian auctions and the Co-op Liquor Store in Alberta. All wines have been stored in a Sub-Zero wine fridge at his home to ensure proper care.
2018 Penfolds Superblend 802 A Cabernet Shiraz from this lot has the following scores - Falstaff Magazine 98 points, James Halliday 98 points, Vinous 96 points, The Wine Independent 96 points. This is the tasting note for 2018 Penfolds Superblend 802 A Cabernet Shiraz from Robert Parker - A huge rush of cedar and vanilla greet the nose on opening, followed by waves of cassis and boysenberry fruit. The 2018 802.A Superblend is a mix of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Shiraz, all raised in 100% new American oak for 22 months and blended just prior to bottling. With components drawn from several of South Austrralia's premium growing regions (led by Barossa and McLaren Vale), this is a full-bodied, lush wine that finishes with driving tannins and a long, velvety finish, yet it doesn't seem as seamless or elegant as its 802.B counterpart. Perhaps it just needs more time? Tasted twice, with consistent notes..
