About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazCoonawarra, AustraliaWith 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. On the nose, an aromatic veil of black-truffled earthiness meshed with porcini mushroom over a dark chocolate base. Beneath, spiced French oak evident. On the palate, a quilt of berried shiraz fruits and lingering tanins provide a structured palate platform. A Coonawarra line of acidity affords both vivacity and length of palate. French oak there to help! Peak drinking 2020 - 2032.

A classic 128 with a flavour packed, medium bodied, cool climate frame and classic Coonawarra notes of supple blue and black fruit, earthy and minty notes, hints of chocolate and gently peppery spices, expertly finished with sublime silky tannins.

Matured for 12 months in French hogsheads (25% new). Good depth to the colour (as expected) and brightness of hue. Black cherry, blackberry, plum, all within a carefully tailored embrace of French oak. Fine tannins add more to the impact and length.
