Penfold's "Club" Tawny Port (Australia)

iconicon Price - $29.99 Size - 750 mL- Australian Wine Tasting held on Saturday May 7, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Drew Robinson of Grand Vin Distributors.

This port style wine sits 5 years on oak and scored 89 pts. in a wine review magazine (didn't catch which one) and is composed of Shiraz, Grenache, and Mouvedre grapes. Nice golden brown with heavy legs. Brown sugar and alcohol on the nose. Good sweetness with brown sugar flavors. Would be very nice for dessert. Clean, good.
