5 Stars and taking the top spot on Cuisine's Best Buy list for offering an outstanding combination of quality and price. Also Gold Medal Liquorland Top 100, Gold & Trophy Royal Queensland Wine Show, Gold Medal New Brunswick Wine Show. Not bad for a wine at this price.
"This elegant, fresh, fragrant wine has floral, berry and liquorice characters of great aromatic quality, no doubt due in part to the five percent Viognier. It tastes persistent and tangy with a firm tannin backbone. Try it alongside lamb with Middle Eastern flavours." Cuisine

This is the first release of this wine since 1966- a wait of over 40 years and pays tribute to the original 1966 Bin 620, one of Penfolds' greatest wines of the Twentieth Century. Special Bins are a collection of the most exclusive Penfolds wines, sourced from rare parcels of fruit, from only the finest vintages- the ultimate reference for wine lovers and international collectors 'in the know'. Accolades are already flowing, with the 2008 Penfolds Bin 620 earning two trophies in its first competition, The Great Australian Red, last week.
"It's a long time between drinks. It's a sister wine to the Bin 60A, which has been called the finest Australian red of the 20th century," Mr Gago said.
NZ has secured a tiny allocation of this individually boxed and numbered hens teeth wine and we have managed to secure some. Wine due mid December. Book now with payment on delivery.

"A perennial Best Buy in these pages, the 2008 Pillar Box Red does not disappoint. A blend of 66% Shiraz, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Merlot, it is purple-colored with an enticing nose of cherry blossom, cinnamon, blueberry, and licorice. Ripe and rich for its humble price, it has plenty of savory fruit, good balance, and a seamless, fruit-filled finish." R.Parker
