2003 Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet

This fine offering was unveiled at Keena's 56th birthday party at the B-well Salt Ponds resort. Locked away til the last minute, Teeth finally opened the Penfolds to the delight of the wild boar sauce eating crowd. We sat downstairs for hours in the back garden with the rest of the "B" List crowd suffering shunning catcalls from the upper deck (including the Queen's haughty wave). Eventually the Bratty distro to the poor was held accompanied by the vino de Oz. There were a few dissenting opinions from Stag One re "kangaroo droppings" and "platypus spittle", but, in the end, the Koonunga won the day. Teeth upended and finished the bottle senza bichiere. Comments? Something from AD about "monumental" or maybe "memorable". Future solo skydiver Josephine advised "It smells like red wine". As cell phone numbers were excitedly exchanged, we toasted sunset sitting astride our new Coleman folding captain's chairs. The evening closed as the disastrous events of the previous Labor Day were revisted, and all agreed that 2006 was a vast improvement being as how no one got lost beside the porta-potties.
