An amazing wine, the power of the Shiraz blends perfectly with the elegance of the Cabernet Sauvignon. It does not betray expectations, round and full-bodied in the mouth with smooth tannins that caress the palate. Hints of fruit, blackberry, plum, accompanied by nuances of liquorice. Very pleasant nose

Okay, hear me out, this wine is stellar and a great value. I had the 2017 vintage and it was spectacular - a lot of deep dark fruit, some bordeaux-like minerality, and a smoky earthiness on the finish.....but there's a catch. If youre a penfolds enthusiast you know their younger wines need a substantial amount of time to breathe. This wine needed a 6 hour decant before it showed well, similar to the BIN389. Trust me, these wines from penfolds ALWAYS open up tight but develop so well with a long decant.

An everyday wine without burning a hole in the pocket.Love this wine, blended with the 2 most popular variant of Shiraz and Cabernet.Full bodied red and velvety tannins that's great on its own. Also love to have this with braised pig trotters.The savoury meat and sauce pairs great with tannins and slight hint of peppery note of this wine.

I say "Shiraz," you say "Syrah" --it's the same grape none-the-less! In France it is known as Syrah, however, in Australia and South Africa it goes by Shiraz. This is one of my favorite grape varietals. I purchased a bottle of Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz from Australia for dinner! The color was a medium deep-purple and smelled of pepper, blackberry, licorice, rubber and a bit of brown sugar. The taste was rich, yet smooth and very tannic. I would recommend this wine!

Another red that ocado is pricing beyond its quality level. Wouldn't be bad for a ?8 wine. Very high alcohol but that characteristic is all it can boast about. There are much better wines at the current price point. Unfortunately you can't buy any of them at Ocado.
Over the last few years my first choice has been Malbec but having tasted PenfoldsKoonunga Hill i will return to it again and again, like finding a long lost friend.And what good price.
2015 vintage. Aromatically challenged and tight. I struggled to pull out some faint plum and blackberry but mostly alcohol.The front attack consisted of a blast of hard tannins and alcohol, with again faint dark fruits. Thin which was disappointing for any wine with a heavy shiraz component. Hot mid-palate and a quick finish.This wine isn't pleasing to smell or drink. It is a weak effort that I frankly don't understand how anyone would recommend.
