2018 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz, Penfolds, Barossa Valley

"The raspberry and vanilla-scented 2018 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is a beauty. Aged in French and American hogsheads, it artfully marries fruit and oak, then blends in nuances of licorice, dusty earth and hints of black olives and roasted meat. Full-bodied and creamy textured, it's ripe while remaining fresh and lively, coming to a long, silky close. At half the price of RWT, it's a relative bargain, but alas, it lacks availability in the United States (the estimated price is based on current exchange rates and the cellar door price of AU$100)."
95 points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
