Cellaring:
Drinking well now, but will improve with time. Drinking window now - 2037.
Nose:
Trademark Bin 150 sheen, yet at the darker end of the spectrum… plumes of tanned leather, soot, boot polish.
Barossa Valley Shiraz spoils liberated via aromas of smoked meats and cheeses, ham, bacon, chorizo, with an overlay of charcoal/hickory.
Scents of a freshly plated terrine, replete with pistachio and juniper, and an infusion of dried herb (thyme, rosemary).
Palate:
A bountiful array of fruits, fresh blueberry and mulberry to one side; dates and fig opposite.
The savoury – a duxelle/chanterelle/morel mushroom sauce and black olive, and the sweet - chocolate/vanilla pre-parfait/mousse.
Texturally hedonistic – a caressing fresh acidity effortlessly accommodating subtle oak and softened tannins.
Complete.
