DESCRIPTION
The Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro is bright, ruby-red in colour. A nose of red curry paste, cardamom and fresh lime leaf. Pomegranate and cranberry fruits immediately apparent, with no oak to speak of … Mourvèdre doing its best to propel background complexed savoury notes. It succeeds. Lively. Youthful. Medium-bodied. Red-curranted fruits, dried paw-paw. Some paprika spice (Shiraz) and chorizo, savoury(Mataro) complexities. Good grip – raspy youthful tannins, with oak not really a part of the equation.
