Medium gold-tinged yellow

Silky and taut on entry

(note that Champs Chenevery is a climat within Fourneaux)

polished garnet

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

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.
