2018 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz

Bin 150 always acts as a Marananga anchor and vintage barometer – an honest and transparent arbiter of Barossa shiraz quality and style.

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

95/100

The raspberry and vanilla-scented 2018 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is a beauty.

Aged in French and American hogsheads, it artfully marries fruit and oak, then blends in nuances of licorice, dusty earth and hints of black olives and roasted meat.

Full-bodied and creamy textured, it's ripe while remaining fresh and lively, coming to a long, silky close.
