Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro is a delightful Australian red wine blend, noted for its lush, robust character. With an intricate symphony of luscious red fruits, spicy notes and a hint of mocha, it provides a sophisticated palate journey. The Shiraz endows a rich, full-bodied flavour, whilst the Mataro delivers nuanced undertones, complementing the Shiraz spectacularly. The palate carries enduring depth, shaped by velvety tannins and a savoury, spicy finish. The wine is matured in French and American oak, enhancing its complexity. Bin 2 is versatile and ages gracefully, perfect for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellar ageing.

Tasting Notes

NOSE - The aromatics are dominated by brightly lifted red fruits of cranberry, red currants and rhubarb. Scents of freshly sliced cured meats and black olive tapenade provide a savoury nuance. Underlying spice is derived from oak maturation, evoking sumac and cardamom. PALATE - The enticing aromatics are amplified on the palate. Loose-knit and lacy tannins provide structural foundations, with juicy red fruit acidity giving rise to a balanced medium-bodied wine. Further complex savoury characters of roasted celeriac and fresh vegetable consommé create another level of complexity.
