Per the authors:

"The care of wine is critical to its development in bottle and an area that is too often neglected in the lifetime of a wine's journey from bottling line to dinner table. At Penfolds, we offer the ultimate in after-sales-service with the Penfolds Wine Clinics, which are now held internationally as well as in Australia on a regular basis. In The Rewards of Patience, we provide the ultimate tasting notes for all Penfolds wines, vintage by vintage, and from the pen of Max Schubert himself we offer some notes on how best to handle your mature Penfolds fine wines through the art of decanting and service."
