Aged in older oak, the 2018 Bin 138 Shiraz-Grenache-Mataro has benefited from a superb Barossa vintage, bursting with raspberries, strawberries and cherries. Ripe, round and seductive, yet with enough stuffing to age 5-7 years (and perhaps more), this full-bodied, supple blend of 68% Shiraz, 22% Grenache and 10% Mataro is one of the values in the Penfolds stable this year, finishing with hints of mint and dark chocolate.
Score: 92 points -- Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate, 2020
