Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro
Shiraz Blends | South Australia, Australia
Since its first vintage in 1960, Penfolds Bin 2 has been blended from Shiraz and Mataro grapes. Supported by subtle oak characters, the two varieties seamlessly entwine to create a generous and opulent wine.
Colour
Saturated red core with a crimson rim.
Nose
A first-impressional glimpse of red-fruited high notes – propelling mulberry, damson plums and boysenberry. Following, scents of pastrami (lightly coated in cardamon, rosemary) and moist slices of silverside sans mustard. Swirling and a little time in glass liberate an ascent of wafts of a deconstructed puttanesca sauce (caper/olive/tomato). Oak barely perceivable.
Palate
From front to back palate, an immediate and gentle softness and freshness.
This tactile smoothness/‘creaminess’ invokes an almost velour/felt/velvet/satin mouthfeel. Perhaps ‘custardy/cream sago-like’ tannins and balanced acidity induce this even emulsification. Derived flavours of quince paste and fresh white figs allow a modicum of fruited succulence. Certainly an alternative shiraz and mataro palate package!
