PenfoldsBin 128 1993
About this product
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 cool climate Shiraz. From the 1980 vintage, French oak replaced American, highlighting the pepper, spice and floral characteristics that define this style. 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.

Medium to full red-purple; a clean, smooth but concentrated bouquet with a mix of ripe mulberry, prune and chocolate fruit, with subtle oak. The palate has all the power and concentration the bouquet promises, with a range of flavours running through sweet dark berry to licorice and a touch of chocolate; there are pleasantly forceful grainy tannins on the finish, which complement that rich fruit.
