Never meant to be a "blockbuster" Penfolds red, the 2020 Bin 128 is true to style, mid to full bodied, and true to its Coonawarra origins, with pure fruitedness and light herbal notes. Panelists referred to blue fruit notes, dark berries, cedary oak, and chalky/light grained tannins. Enjoy over the next 5 years.
