Penfolds Bin 138 Shiraz Grenache Mataro 2018 - 750ml

COLOUR: Bright garnet red
NOSE: Raspberry-leaf and pastille fruits (blackberry) jostle to the fore. Barossa boot polish high-notes arise. A quince jelly and inky-berried aromatic sign-off at this early stage of bottle maturation. More to be revealed over time
PALATE: Juicy, dense and more-ish, a sophisticated varietal and regional matrix unfolds, stamped with Barossa integrity. Super-fine tannins permeate across the palate, no double contributed by all three varieties. Background oak ever so distant, lingers.
