Penfolds Bin 2 was first released in 1960, but was discontinued
in Australia in the 1970s at the height of the white wine boom.
The original Bin 2 was an 'Australian Burgundy' style (despite its
Rhone varieties) - typically a soft, medium-bodied wine based on
Shiraz.
The Bin 2 blend of Shiraz and Mourvedre is still relatively
uncommon in Australian table wines. Also known as Mataro or
Monastrell, Mourvedre was introduced to Australia in the 1830s.
Sometimes used in fortified wine production, this grape is widely
planted in the Barossa Valley. It is greatly valued by winemakers
for its blending attributes, adding complexity and palate grip.
Interest in Bin 2 has grown as the popularity of traditional Rhone
varieties and blends continues to flourish.

COLOUR Dense, with a deep purplish core.
NOSE Bright, inky, forceful.
An underlay of a compote/paste of quince, fig,
dates & prune fruits leads the charge. Within
seconds wafts of ribena syrup and red licorice
ascend above. In reserve, it's the brown leather &
boot polish cues that remind all of Mourvedre's
aromatic shareholding.
PALATE Assorted chocolate derivatives and generous
dark-berried fruits coalesce to induce an
enveloping plush mouthfeel.Integrated powdery,
fine tannins and latent oak offer no structural
intrusion. Similarly, an expected savoury
Mourvedre contribution is conspicuously
absent ...
"Palate is all about layers & textures."
