Deep, silky, and elegant, this Bin 8 vintage embodies the essence of Penfolds: a structured wine meant for aging, yet one that can be enjoyed even 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—referred to the experimental vintages that have since become cult classics. This vintage is a wonderful introduction to the world of Penfolds! - Screw-cap closure -

A lovely blend of Syrah and Cabernet, harmonious on the palate, not too full-bodied, with good length
