Penfolds Shiraz - Mourvèdre Bin 2 1998
South Australia, AustraliaThe '98 blend is 75/25 with the shiraz dominating. Just a tinge of herbal, cassis-like aromas with the more typical underlying black cherry, earthy, leathery flavours and spice in the finish. Bin 2 is an old and very individual Penfolds style that dates back to 1960. A classic Penfolds red that will need two to three years of bottle age to open up.
