Deep, silky, and elegant, this Bin 8 vintage embodies the Penfolds DNA: a structured wine for aging, but one that can be enjoyed in its youth. The story goes that the Bin collection, followed by a number—the name given to the storage crates where the bottles were kept—corresponded to experimental vintages that have now become cult classics. This vintage is a great introduction to the world of Penfolds! - Screw cap closure -

A beautiful blend of Syrah and Cabernet, harmonious on the palate, not overly warm, with good length.
