Penfolds
Bin 28 Shiraz



Oldest in the Penfolds portfolio, Wine includes fruit from Barossa, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Clare and Wrattonbully vineyards, aged 12 months in American oak, about 7% new. Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate ripe blackberry, plum and cherry flavors with cacao, espresso and vanilla oak. Vivid acidity, rich ripe fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and a bit of spice, very nice! Good value with aging potential.

Good Shiraz. Bin 28 used to be the Kalimna Vineyard and I always rated it highly. Not sure it’s still the same origin. But the wine is solid. Cassis notes, some spice, grippy tannins.

Dec 11th, 2023I’d buy this again, $29 for the 2020. I really like the balance, tannin and the acidity provides for an enjoyable glass of wine. I think this drinks bigger than a $29 bottle. And it has body! Unlike a lot of Syrahs now that tend to be more flabby.
