2020 | Penfolds Bin 600 Cabernet - Shiraz | California Elbling sweet-tobacco and dried-orange aromasThe 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
