Good crimson-purple; a high quality Bin 128, the base of supple, medium-bodied blackberry and plum fruit pure Coonawarra, the tannin management and oak handling pure Penfolds. A great future.

This 2009 release of Bin 128 has a little more oomph than usual. Smells good. Malt, raspberries, dried spices, smoky barrels and syrupy plums. It fairly follows on from there, adding a touch of aniseed to the fruit and creamy vanilla to the oak. That creaminess helps give the wine excellent texture and there’s no doubting the impact of fruit flavour. It finishes soundly; it feels composed and complete. This is an immaculately presented wine all round.
