50 YEAR OLD RARE TAWNY ««««« Series 5
Penfolds 50 Year Old Rare Tawny is a very limited release Tawny blend with a previous inclusion of the 1915 vintage, believed to have been the foundation of Penfolds first Grandfather cask. The blend contains proportions of the first two commercial releases of Penfolds Grandfather, being the 1940 and 1945 vintages. The blend also contains a portion of first Great Grandfather Rare Tawny release from 1994, along with other select parcels of other vintages. Currently only 330 bottles are released in each series.
Medium-brick olive brown. Intense freshly ground coffee, panforte, crème brûlée and sandalwood aromas with orange peel citrus notes. Plush and complete with exceptionally dense panforte, orange peel, clove, nut and sandalwood flavours. Dense and velvety-smooth textures, and lovely viscous mid-palate. A wonderfully concentrated tawny with remarkable complexity and depth.
Complex aged tawny style with superb gingerbread, spice, molasses characters and velvety smooth textures. (JR)
Cathedrals, spice markets, incense, clove/spice and butterscotch. Very impactful rather than punchy. (NR)
