Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 1.5L Magnum 2022 Year of the Snake Gift Box

This wine has a beautiful transparent yellow colour. The first nose is very pure, the cool month of August perfectly protected the aromatic potential. The full expression of Sauvignon Blanc on clay limestone soil is present here exhaling notes of grapefruit and lime blossom. After stirring, always necessary for young wines, the nose develops in aromas around lemony citrus fruits. The attack is lively, full of freshness, in the mid palate the wine evolves with the very interesting fat of the Semillon aged on lees and ends with a fresh and dense finish. This continues in the mouth with a remarkable length. Among the aromas of the mouth we again find the citrus fruits, like a candy, perceived on the nose as well as a delicacy that is both floral and fruity. 2021 is in keeping with the line of very fine white Bordeaux vintages.
