Penfolds wines, at this level, are always highly "cellar-worthy". We've started this 2013 Bin 28's cellaring journey, now it's up to you.

Do you continue the maturation process, or drink the wine? The wine has settled into a deep ruby coloured, plushly textured, spicy, black fruited beauty. The palate is expansive, incorporating classic notes of licorice, black olive and dark chocolate, wrapped in pleasantly chewy tannins. From long experience we can advise that this iconic wine will mature well for many years. Or, just enjoy its classic attributes now.

From the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Padthaway and Langhorne Creek, matured for 12 months in used American hogsheads handed down from prior duties with Grange, Bin 389 and so forth. Healthy and deep colour, it has a rich bouquet with licorice, spice, dark chocolate and blackberry all in unison. Good stuff indeed, with the savoury/inky/graphite impact of the very long, balanced medium to full-bodied palate. This could well evolve into one of the best Bin 28s.
