2020 | Penfolds Bin 600 Cabernet - Shiraz | California Bourgogne lemon acidity and a touch

lemon acidity and a touch of grapefruit zest adding a bit more gravitas

and maybe even a hint of pancetta

with a fine mousse and excellent minerality

and yet it is a very distinctive wine in its own way

The palate shows notes of quince and marzipan with honeysuckle and a hint of black pepper spice

2020 | Penfolds Bin 600 Cabernet - Shiraz | California Bourgogne lemon acidity and a touchThe quintessential Australian blend is brought to California. Good it is, too. A fine nose, rich but savory, beaming riffs on smoked deli meats, anise, clove and exotic notes of the souk. The mid palate, dense, full weighted and nicely pliant, riffing on red and blue fruits over monolithic black. The tannins, well alloyed, roll the flavors long across a gritty etching of oak across the finale. 95 Pts James Suckling
