On the nose, the wine unfolds a complex and inviting aromatic range, with notes of ripe red and black fruits, such as plums and blackberries, enriched by nuances of spices, aromatic herbs and a light touch of vanilla and chocolate, deriving from the aging in barrique of oak.

In the mouth, the wine offers a solid and well-balanced structure, with soft tannins and a lively acidity that supports its fruity and spicy expression. The presence of Mourvèdre contributes earthy and leathery notes, which integrate harmoniously with the generosity of Shiraz, leading to a long and persistent finish.

Ideal in combination with robust dishes, such as grilled red meats, rich stews and mature cheeses, Bin 2 - Penfolds is a wine that demonstrates Penfolds' versatility and ability to produce harmonious and complex blends, capable of satisfying the palate of enthusiasts and collectors.
