Penfolds, Bin 90A Cabernet Shiraz Brut Zero Medium gold-tinged yellow

Medium gold-tinged yellow

detailed and mineral-inflected medium weight flavors possess a lovely midpalate mouth feel that contrasts moderately with the mildly rustic finale that is both sneaky long and beautifully complex

Silky and taut on entry

intense and muscular largescaled flavors possess excellent power before culminating in a stony and hugely long finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth

than on the medium bodied

Penfolds, Bin 90A Cabernet Shiraz Brut Zero Medium gold-tinged yellowA new wine for me, the 1990 Cabernet Shiraz Bin 90A is another impressive wine, although I did not think it justified the lofty $100+ price tag. While I preferred the Bin 707, the Bin 90A is an outstanding wine with a deep, saturated ruby purple color, and a smoky, roasted herb, blackcurrant, jammy scented nose. Thick, rich, and full bodied, with elevated tannin, this spicy, boldly styled wine will drink well for 15 20 years.
