1999 RWT

Drinking at home.

1999 Penfolds RWT - drank 1 hour and 45 minutes after decanting. Lots of oak, spices, and mint in the nose. Pretty smoky, tobacco, and plenty of black fruits like plums. No longer got the same punchiness like your typical young Aussie shiraz, this had good acidity balance while retaining the good concentration and some tannins. Very nice.
