Deep, silky, and elegant, this Bin 8 vintage embodies the Penfolds DNA: a structured wine meant for aging but one that can be enjoyed even in its youth. The story goes that the “Bin” series—followed by a number, the name given to the storage crates where the bottles were kept—referred to the experimental vintages that have since achieved cult status. This vintage is a wonderful introduction to the world of Penfolds! - Screw cap packaging -
