2015 Bin 138 Shiraz Mataro Grenache

Spoils of the Barossa, spoilt by the Barossa! Yet again. Older vineyards, getting older…

When something works, why change?!

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

91/100

Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2015 GSM Bin 138 offers up notions of kirsch, dried mulberries and Chinese five spice with wafts of lavender and garrigue.

Medium to full-bodied, the palate has plush tannins and tons of spicy fruit, finishing with lingering pepper and cinnamon notes.
