Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz 2018

With 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. Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz comprises fruit sourced from the unique terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, a region that exemplifies the perfume, transparency and seductive nature of cool-climate red table wines.

Taut, dry, well balanced and well fruited. Straight into licorice territory, red and black, with peppercorn, red cherry and an assortment of woodsy spices. Oak is more apparent in the texture than it is in the flavour and while there’s a touch of warmth to the finish you’d have to say that it remains well controlled. It’s a hard wine to get excited over but it’s been perfectly crafted. - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front
