Best's celebrates old vines. Bin O is a case in point, with vines dating back to 1868 employed here to produce a stunning and elegant beauty. Bin O's signature black fruits, woody spice and violets are concentrated and deep, followed by velvety tannins that effortlessly glide over the tongue. Quite a powerful combination. Drink by 2041.
