Been on my wish list to try this wine a while now 👌 @ £62 this didn't disappoint 👍
Great young 92-93 & not as tannic as I expected but will age into a beauty 94-96 me thinks 😍 Give a good decant 3+ hrs

This afternoon the wine I have decided to open was a Christmas gift from my parish priest. The 2011 Penfolds Bin 8 Cabernet Sauvignon - Shiraz blend, 62% Cab. Sauv. and 38% Shiraz.
On the nose is dark jammy fruit, black raspberry, black cherry, blueberry, prune, black currant, licorice, violet, lavender and graphite.
On the palate the dark fruit comes through but not jammy, blackberry, black cherry, boysenberry, cranberry, star anise and graphite.
A very silky smooth mouthfeel with medium acidity, medium granular tannins and a pleasingly medium finish.
Have a prosperous and healthy New Year. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷 — 8 years ago

The '62 is nimble and elegant. Just beginning to show some color at the edge. I think it has at least ten to twenty years before reaching maturity. — 10 years ago

I've had a perfect wine a handful of times. 2000 SQN Suey. 62 latour. 97 Gaja from 3L. 97 Shafer Hillside Select. This is at that level. Balance. Creamy. Expressive nose of sweet flowers, stone fruits and juicy raspberry blueberry vanilla, flint and the feeling you can only get from the hug of your mother. A wine at its peak. Embarrassed to enjoy this alone. But I will. — 9 years ago

Love! Great with frozen grapes — 12 years ago
Literally one of the best Zinfandels (and wine overall) I've ever had. Whatever Duane Rieder is doing bringing grapes back to Pittsburgh from California, it's working. Dark, smokey and jammy. Reasonable at $62 restaurant pricing. Found it at Original Fish Market. — 12 years ago

This is basically the house red at Chez LuLu and we usually get a bottle when we go there for dinner. Pairs great with their wild mushroom & lamb sausage pizza and also with the beef stew dish. Solid choice for an inexpensive cotes du Rhône. — 7 years ago
