Second of two Penfolds drunk on the night alongside the also excellent 2008 Bin 620. This 53 year old beauty was relatively full bodied with a very long finish. Despite a slightly damaged cork, under the rarely seen white foil, lots of dark fruit and herb accents. Incredible bottle, only a few left, no need to rush to drink the rest as this still has many, many years left.

2011 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep purple, good rather than great and unlike 2007-2010 Screaming Eagle, this probably needs at least another 3-5 years.
