A classic from Penfolds, Koonunga Hill offers a big name at a reasonable price. In the great Penfolds tradition, this cuvée is a true icon. Fruity, silky, and light, it pairs beautifully with fine cuts of red meat. A true ode to pleasure and indulgence! - Screw cap closure -

Thick wine, too powerful without any finesse

Review and opinion by Mr. OLIVIER L. Published on 12/20/2019

A lovely discovery and good value for money, in my opinion. I don't detect the subtle hints of undergrowth mentioned in the tasting notes; this is a wine with intense fruitiness, and that's what makes it so appealing. To me, at least. Beautifully smooth.
