Penfolds

Bin 128 Shiraz 2019

The Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz stands as a beautifully refined expression of a cool-climate Shiraz, offering a striking counterpoint to its warmer-climate siblings. Sourced from Coonawarra's unique terra rossa soils, it exemplifies perfume and transparency. The nose is complex, hinting at gamey scents, redcurrant, and regional 'red dirt', while the palate is medium-bodied and well-proportioned. Here, flavours of dark red berries, spice, smoke, and charcuterie unfold, underpinned by notes of cracked pepper, red spices, and savouriness reminiscent of glazed meats. It is a well-rounded and structured wine that achieves a real level of elegance and refinement.
