Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz

Country: Australia

Grape Varietal: Shiraz

Tasting Note:

Nose: An instant formic lift, elevating a mix of African/Middle Eastern spices – cumin and dried fennel flirting with aromas
akin to soaked dill-pickle juice.

Palate: A boysenberry/mulberry slurry, almost a coulis, with a smidgeon of cola/creamy soda flavours. Prominent tannins augment and propel an impression of a svelte film of raspberry seeds/pips, to heighten textural appeal. Supportive oak adds weight – contributing structurally yet hesitating to add to the flavour-pool. An ironstone/ferrous (haemoglobin) impression noted on back-palate.

Food pairing:
Beef & Venison.

Alcohol Content: 14.5%
