[Bundle of 2] Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2021 Year of the Snake Edition, 750ml

Country: Australia

Grape Varietal: Cabernet Shiraz

Tasting Note:

Nose: Much more than a first-wave impression of blackcurrant/cassis cabernet-driven aromatics.
A second of chive, mustard spice, beeswax, lemon/honey tea and thyme flowers. A third of cherry-wood, sarsaparilla, aniseed. A fourth of wet cold steel and a wet peppercorn tree. 

Palate: Full and rich. A custom-fitted generous mid-palate mandated for this marque. Flavours of a platter of charcuterie meats, pastrami dominating. Also vying for taste and textural attention pomegranate, cranberry, Madagascan vanilla pod, liquorice straps.
This wine’s youthful profile tempered by softened and even tannins from start to finish. And the judicious use of new oak.

Food Pairing: Beef Carpaccio, roast beef, roast leg of lamb.

Alcohol Content: 14.5%
