That is one thing i'm not keen on, higher alcohol content.
I've had some nicely refined whites before that were quite smooth and very tasty and yet i was surprised to see they had a 14% alcohol content. There are certainly some wines, when properly done, that can have the higher content w/o affecting its overal enjoyability. We just didn't find that Penfolds to be one of them.

If you don't like that Simi, you are welcome to send us a bottle or two for personal inspection.
