Longtime readers will know of my personal fondness for this wine, going back nearly to its first vintage, the 1997. That said, the 2019 RWT Shiraz Bin 798 continues this wine's impressive run, artfully combining hedonistic waves of mixed fruit with the balancing and structural effects of 18 months in French oak hogsheads (57% new, with the balance second-fill). Dark chocolate and vanilla notes join blackberries and plums on the concentrated, full-bodied palate, picking up hints of coffee, black olives and licorice on the long, silky-textured finish. This should easily age up to two decades.

2019 Penfolds RWT - Bin 798 Shiraz
Penfolds Rewards of Patience ★★★★★
Penfolds — The Rewards of Patience, Ninth Edition
Drink: Drink 2028 2048
Deep crimson. Ripe blackberry pastille, cassis, dark chocolate, praline, touch panforte aromas with spicy notes. Supple and concentrated wine with abundant blackcurrant, blackberry pastille fruits, plentiful chocolaty tannins and well-balanced mocha, vanilla oak notes. Gravelly/oaky finish. "Quite a grippy palate, with more structure than I was expecting. However, the finish brings a very pure fruit flavour and a sweetness that balances out the tannic forwardness." (FW) Not quite ready, but a lovely vintage. 14.5% alc 18 months' maturation in 57% new and 43% seasoned French oak hogsheads.
