Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 750ml

Bright, deep crimson red. Fresh and perfumed, vibrant and lifted. Inviting. French oak cedar and clove noted, however, sandalwood, mahogany and burnt fig imply derivatives from fruit, rather than Quercus. Freshly ground coffee, clove and juniper redress a regional Barossa association. Bright, tense, energetic. So many epicurean-linked complexities – star anise/orange zest roast duckling, balsamic glazed beetroot, olive tapenade, black pudding. Fresh acidity and savoury tannins facilitate both grip and a tight and defined structure.
