Penley Estate Cabernet

I just opened a bottle of Penley Estate "Phoenix" 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, from the Coonawarra region of Australia and it is a good wine.
This is only the second bottle I've ever had from this producer (the '07 Shiraz being the first) and both have been great.
I just haven't found any in New Orleans yet. I think it retails for about $20 a bottle.
Anyone tried it? Thoughts?

almost 2 & 1/2 hours later we've finished the wine and I highly recommend it.

May I recommend?
About $60 - $65 a bottle for the '83. If you can get the '82, though, it'll set you back about $250.00, but WOW! Legendary!

A friend brought a bottle of this over for dinner a while back (I think she said she got it from Whole Foods). It was okay, but honestly I've had much better cabs in the $12 range.

It was the Penley Cab?
b/c I haven't been able to find it anywhere in the city. I've found their Merlot, but none of their other wines.
The wine completely overpowered my dinner last night so I should have had a steak with it (instead of the chicken & pasta.)
Regardless, I still loved the wine. I guess I'd describe it as a "big" wine.
