Penfolds Bin 23 Pinot Noir 2023 750mL

Tasting Notes

COLOUR Vibrant, glossy cherry red. NOSE A feast for the senses, abundant in its complexity, and a reflection of the unique terroir of Tasmania. Wild strawberry aromas set a vibrant and enticing stage, complemented by sweet notes of toffee apple. A luscious berry coulis intertwines with the nuanced richness of fresh figs and the tangy zest of dehydrated blood orange. Undertones of Chinotto and choc-orange sweets infuse an intriguing bittersweet character, while herbal nuances from crispy sage leaves elevate the bouquet's sophistication. Cherry clafoutis adds a comforting baked fruit depth, while brined caperberry rounds out the nose with a touch of briny sharpness. PALATE On the palate, this wine reveals itself as a masterful play between savoury and sweeter fruit elements. Earthy forest floor flavours provide a grounding base, brambles and cola notes weave their way. Cherries and mulberries emerge, blending seamlessly with clove spice. This Pinot Noir boasts impressive length on the palate, where toasted chestnuts and pine nuts impart a subtle richness to the flavour profile. Lively quartz-like acidity punctuates each sip, ensuring vibrancy throughout; meanwhile, silky tannins contribute to a smooth mouthfeel.
