A distinctly meaty nose here, charcuterie, toasty oak, lifted pretty fragrance too, almost a suggestion of whole bunch fermentation here, then cola, freshly tanned leather and nutmeg. The sweetness of fruit is impressive, this has power, ripeness and intensity and yet delivers it all with grace and style. Finishes with plum and chocolate, super creamy. One of the finest Magills, best from 2018.

Very deep, dark red colour with strong purple tints. The oak is somewhat dominant on the nose at present, with a slightly sappy, coconut aspect. The palate is tight and firm, a trifle monochromatic for Magill Estate, perhaps needing more time to bring its qualities forth. The tannins are very fine and supple, beautifully balanced and svelte: a highlight of the wine. It's not a big Magill, but elegant and superbly balanced. Magill Estate doesn't always seem a complete wine, but this one does. 28 AUG 2015 Drink 2017–2037

Simplicity itself: 100% shiraz, 100% Magill Estate and matured for 14 months in 95% new oak (71% French, 24% American). Sometimes shy and retiring, this is a Magill Estate with a plenitude of attitude, singling a long chorus of utterly impressive black fruits, rising to an operatic fanfare on its finish. I cannot remember a better Magill Estate, even though Penfolds is not especially proud of the wine 'a solid Magill Estate'.

The single-vineyard Magill Estate Shiraz is intrinsically linked to Penfolds beginnings. Sourced from the original Magill vineyard on the edge of Adelaide’s eastern suburbs.
Fruit is crushed, fermented and matured on-site at the original Penfolds Magill winery, established in 1844. Magill Estate Shiraz is an elegant, medium-weight style with velvety texture and fine tannins, matured in both French and American oak. It is a sleek, contemporary wine, yet crafted the original way: hand-picked, vinified in open fermenters and then basket pressed to complete fermentation in barrel.
