Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro Vintage 2022

A deep purple-red hue with an enticing bouquet that showcases classic varietal aromas—violet, blackberry, vanilla, coconut, and toasted oak. Layers of complexity unfold with roasted undertones. The palate is smooth, featuring ripe, silky tannins with notes of coffee, cherry, and wild raspberry, complemented by hints of white pepper, saffron, and a touch of graphite. The wine delivers a perfect balance between freshness and maturity, resulting in a refined and powerful expression.
