Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018
Descripción
Las siglas RWT significan «Red Winemaking Trial» (Ensayo de vinificación en tinto), nombre que se dio al proyecto internamente cuando se iniciaron los trabajos de desarrollo. Naturalmente, el RWT Shiraz dejó de ser un «ensayo» y se lanzó al mercado en mayo del 2000. La denominación alfanumérica 798 se otorgó al vino de la añada 2016. Su estilo es opulento y carnoso, en esta añada 2018 nos hechiza con su complejidad aromática y frescura. Resulta ideal para acompañar carnes rojas, tablas de queso y embutidos.

Opinión de los críticos
Sourced only from the Barossa Valley, RWT is aged exclusively in French oak, giving it two major points of difference from the rest of the Penfolds range. Always a sexy, voluptuous wine (and admittedly a personal favorite), the 2018 RWT Shiraz ratchets that up to new heights in a great Barossa vintage, boasting layers of berry-like fruit, refined vanilla shadings and baking-spice notes, plus more exotic elements like star anise and cocoa powder. It's full-bodied and plush without being unstructured in any way, with a lingering, complex finish and the concentration to age two decades or more.
This has a very attractively fresh, showy feel to the nose with aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, goji berries and redcurrants, as well as red plums and some wild-herb and licorice notes on offer, too. Very expressive and fragrant. The palate has a super intense and powerful delivery of ripe red-cherry and plum flavors and immaculately fresh French oak (64% new) that really clasps and holds the finish long. The tannins are so ripe and well positioned. Drink over two decades.
