Easily Australia’s most famous winery, Penfolds was originally founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Penfold and his wife Mary with vines they brought with them from France. Since then the estate has evolved into one of the world’s top fine wine producers and is continually pushing the boundaries of winemaking with different grape varieties and viticultural techniques.
This attractive cuvee is dominated by Shiraz with some Mataro, or Mourvedre as it is known in France, completing the blend for additional complexity. Bin 2 was first produced in the 1960s and has been recently reintroduced thanks to the sublime yet unusual combination of punchy Shiraz and earthy, savoury hits from the Mataro. Fruit for this bottling is sourced from the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills and after vinification the wine is aged for 12 months in both new and seasoned French oak barrels.
In the glass, Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz exhibits a deep garnet color with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, vanilla, and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich with flavors of black fruit, dark chocolate, and oak, complemented by a firm tannic structure and a long, complex finish. This big, bold red wine is best enjoyed with hearty, meaty dishes such as steak, lamb, or game.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
