In previous Mid Autumn Festivals, I would prepare a bottle of sweet white and a bottle of dry red wine, drink red wine for dinner, and have some sweet wine while admiring the moon. Perfect!
There are too many choices for sweet white, and it's a bit difficult for me to choose dry red. Regardless of the price, it's not enough to just have a good taste and no reputation. It's also not enough to have a good taste and a reputation that others don't know, after all, everyone only recognizes the brand.
I don't need to say how classic the Penfolds Bin series is, it's simply a hard currency in the wine industry! This Bin 2 is a blend of Shiraz and Mataro grapes, with Shiraz being the main grape and Mataro adding more complexity to the wine, and matured in two oak barrels.
At first glance, the berry aroma is particularly prominent, with fruity notes of blueberries, cherries, and pomegranates. After being aged in both American and French oak barrels, there is also a hint of spice and dark chocolate flavor upon closer inspection!
It tastes good to the palate, with soft tannins and a smooth texture. It's not too sour, and the astringency is not too strong. The wine has a light and non irritating taste.
To be honest, as an entry-level wine from Penfolds Winery, this bottle is very affordable in terms of price, taste, popularity, and appearance, priced at just over 200 yuan, with a high cost performance ratio. Meals are also versatile. Whether you drink it as a ration, or at various parties, weddings or family dinners like the Mid-Autumn Festival, I think this wine is very suitable, and its implication is very good. Go to the rich and go to the rich together. It's really right to choose it and close your eyes.
