Proven synergy between rich South Australian Shiraz & American oak derived from 12 months barrel maturation. Penfolds oldest Bin wine, inky-hued, oozes chocolate, anise, olives, dried violets & black pepper. Fruit aromas of cherries & blackberries arrive later. Palate is rich & textured, a finely wound line of granular tannins around plush berry fruit & a long finish.
