Bin 8 has been crafted in the traditional Penfolds style.
Ripe, balanced fruit flavours are supported by softly integrated oak resulting in an
impressive, smooth red wine. It was introduced in response to a
heightened interest in shiraz and cabernet blends – a classic Australian
wine style that caught the attention of the international wine media.
Although Bin numbers were originally named after the original Bin
location after bottling, Bin 8 was given its number because it uses
older oak previously used for Bin 128, Bin 28 and Bin 389 – with ‘8’
obviously providing the common thread.
COLOR:
Dense plum core
NOSE:
Gorgeous perfumed aromatics with fresh mulberries and raspberry compote
conjuring thoughts of summer berry pudding. A hint of bay leaf adds a
savoury note. Perfumed and lifted.
PALATE:
Textured, plush tannins create a neat and tidy framework to house rich
blackberry fruit spiced by oak derived vanilla pod. Barrel maturation
has added a creamy texture and mouthfeel.
