Aromas of Vanilla, spice and chocolate, flavours of those with blackcurrant, liquorice and it has a gamey hint in there. Tannins are well integrated and its dry, you feel the mouth tighten after a taste. As well as Shiraz there is a bit of Mourvedre, approx 10% which follows through on the Rhone wine character. Penfolds have been making the bin 2 range since the 1960’s and at £15 a bottle its a great wine at a great price. For me I would have it with food, a steak or a tomato based pasta dish.
