Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz 2022
$48.99
Penfolds Kalimna Bin 28 offers a showcase of warm-climate Australian shiraz—ripe, robust, and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, Bin 28 is named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine was originally sourced. Today, Kalimna Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, with the Barossa Valley always well represented.
COLOUR
Purple with a black core.
NOSE
The aromatic spectrum presents an array of scents that point to varietal origin. The nose is distinguished by a subtle formic character,
closely followed by savoury notes of blood pudding, aniseed/fennel and black liquorice. A hint of milk chocolate adds a soft, sweet
touch to the predominantly dark fruit profile, where red, blue, and black fruits are all present. Ground cinnamon, toasted fennel seeds,
clove, mace and sumac contribute to an overall impression of liveliness.

PALATE
The palate texture is suggestive of cocoa powder while being framed by just enough savoury oak to add structure without dominating.
Leading with black fruit characters, it progresses with dark plum and hints of gamey richness (roasted venison). Baking spice notes and
a delicate icing sugar dusting add nuance without tipping into overt sweetness. Lively acidity carries through from start to finish,
perfectly accompanied by fine structural tannins that contribute to an enduring balance. Despite its depth and layers, it carries itself
with typical Bin 28 ease; its complexity is apparent yet approachable.
