The Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro 2020 features red-fruited high note aromas - propelling mulberry, damson plums and boysenberry. Following, scents of pastrami and moist slices of silverside sans mustard. Swirling and a little time in glass liberate an ascent of wafts of a deconstructed puttanesca sauce (caper/olive/tomato). From front to back palate, an immediate and gentle softness and freshness. This tactile smoothness/‘creaminess’ invokes an almost velour/felt/velvet/satin mouthfeel. Derived flavours of quince paste and fresh white figs allow a modicum of fruited succulence. Certainly an alternative shiraz and mataro.
