Description
James Halliday Top 100 Wines of 2015.
98 Points James Halliday "Wow. A 61/39% blend of Barossa shiraz and Coonawarra cabernet led to 1962 Bin 60A, Max Schubert's single greatest wine. This inherits Bin 60A's regional and varietal blend, its extreme longevity and impeccable balance between fruit, oak and tannins. All it needs is lots of time."
The 2012 The Max Schubert Cabernet Shiraz is a blend of 61% cabernet sauvignon and 39% shiraz from premium vineyards in the Barossa Valley and Coonawarra. The wine was matured for 15 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads.
Max Schubert was the Chief Winemaker for Penfolds between 1948 to 1975 and the architect behind Penfolds Bin 95 Grange, Australia's most famous wine. To mark the centenary of Schubert's birth and to celebrate his enormous legacy and contribution to the brand, Penfolds have released a new range of wines as a tribute to the great winemaker. One of these wines is the 2012 The Max Schubert Cabernet Shiraz, a blend of 61% Barossa Shiraz and 39% Coonawarra Cabernet. This wine is inspired by the 1962 Penfolds Bin 60A, a blend of the same two varieties from the same two regions; a wine now worth upwards of $5000 per bottle and considered by many – including James Halliday – to be the single greatest red wine ever made in Australia.
Description
Nose: Instantly, invoking an ostentatious entry – saturated red-curranted fruits, stewed mulberry. Next, a formic proclamation – soy/ Worcestershire sauce and freshly tanned leather. Then, closure – beneath a descending veiled waft of icing sugar, vanilla and fragmented brandy snap. Palate: In a word, complex. Unravels with air and time. Red fruits arise from a mix of dark chocolate/ mocha dust (cappuccino) and chocolate-coated liquorice. Succulent, savoury, chewy – propelled by formidable tannins and well-hidden new oak. Peak drinking: Now-2045.

What The Critics Say
"100% shiraz from Central Vineyard bushvines planted in 1893, and the Eastern Vineyard planted in 1919. The colour isn't particularly dark, but the flavours are very, very deep, complex and positively mouthwatering. You have no hope of understanding this wine without repeated visits to the glass. Texture, flavour and structure intermingle on the palate; purple and black fruits are but part of the story of a great vintage with magnificent longevity."
