Medium deep crimson. Very attractive musky plum, blackberry, blueberry aromas with hints of roasted walnut. Supple sweet-fruited palate with ample red and dark plums, cranberry, mulberry, red cherry fruits, some savoury / roasted walnut complexity, fine loose knit chalky textures, very good mid-palate viscosity and fresh integrated and persistent crisp acidity. Lovely fruit-driven finish with aniseed notes. Not for the long haul but a delicious gluggable drink. 12 months in French oak hogsheads (12.5% new). Drink now – 2026 14.5 % alc 93 points.

Vibrant and spicy, the flavour-filled Bin 138 offers mouth-watering blackberry and currant flavours nuanced by earthen shades of forest floor, charcuterie, chocolate and game. It’s a complex, juicy, punchy wine - an ideal expression of the time-honoured Barossa blend. This is a style that's attained a peak of popularity - a wine with a very appealing note of rusticity. Penfolds have been onto it for years. A wine to thoroughly enjoy over the next 5 years.
