About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazCoonawarra, AustraliaA benchmark Shiraz of Australia from the acclaimed 1998 vintage. Drinking at its peak and drowning in top flight oak, this is one for the hedonists! Created in 1962, Penfolds Bin 128 is a regional wine that reflects the unique climate and growing conditions of South Australia's Coonawarra district and the relatively elegant style of coolclimate Shiraz. Since the mid-1980s, a greater attention has been paid to fruit ripeness, resulting in a wine that is fuller in style and structure.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Deep red colour, slight brick red edges. Spicy red berry aromas, mellow and appealing. Savoury notes, too. The palate is medium-bodied, dry and savoury, with a hint of leanness. There's a good depth and textural density, and it will live for many more years.

Medium to full red-purple; the bouquet is clean, with abundant, ripe dark plum fruit which has soaked up the oak; the palate is powerful, with much more concentration than usual, and in particular, tannins; has a very long life in front of it.
