Penfolds revives two famous reds

Article Abstract:

Block 42 and Bin 60A, two 2004 red wines from Penfolds, the venerable Australian winery, would be expensive and hard to find when they are released in 2007, though serious collectors of Australian wine would not want to miss out on them. Penfolds would release a small volume of the production as futures so that consumers could get a chance to reserve their allocations early on through retailers.
