PenfoldsBin 128 Shiraz 2015
About this product
With each vintage release the cool-climate Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz provides an interesting counterpoint to the more opulent and richly concentrated warm climate Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz. Bin 128 comprises fruit sourced from the unique terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, a region that exemplifies the perfume, transparency and seductive nature of cool-climate red table wines. Coonawarra has remained the source of shiraz fruit for Bin 128 since the inaugural release of the 1962 vintage. In order to further enhance the regional qualities of Bin 128, the wine is matured in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads, a method that was refined during the 1980’s when the transition was made from American to French oak.

Vintage 2015

A spicy, French oak and blackberry nose leads to a Bin 128 that is still evolving. The 2015 vintage in Coonawarra was regarded as a "tannic" one, although, with food, tannin is hardly noticeable here - in fact, it becomes a positive attribute. The underlying fruit is bright and crunchy, the oak is pitch-perfect, while time in our cellar has clearly loosened it up and softened those tannins. The 2015 will be a very long-lived wine, one that would be great to buy for someone born or married in that year. The wine will be in fine fettle by its 18th or 21st year. (Tasted September, 2022)
