Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Australia Shiraz 2008

91/100 45

Intense Barossa Shiraz with classic chocolate/mocha and sweet American oak flavours (matured in a mix of American and French oak although the US oak appears more dominant). A backbone of firm, ripe tannins suggests a decade or more of cellaring potential although it is surprisingly accessible now.

Tasted: Feb 2011   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $50 (~USD $38)
