SKU: PEN128SHI20
The Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz 2020 features aromas of cocoa powder dust, blackboard chalk, white peppercorns. This wine is structurally impressive. Mouthcoating chalky tannins balanced by cranberry succulence and barely ripe mulberries. A mouth-watering wine, silky on the finish. Deserves food, perfect with game or beef. With each vintage release the cool-climate Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz provides an interesting counterpoint to the more opulent and richly concentrated warm climate Bin 28 Shiraz. Bin 128 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. Coonawarra has remained the source of shiraz fruit for Bin 128 since the inaugural release of the 1962 vintage. In order to further enhance the regional qualities of Bin 128, the wine is matured in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads, elevage that was refined during the 1980’s when the transition was made from American to French oak.

”Matured for 12 months in French hogsheads (20% new). Any vintage challenges have been answered by a wine with excellent full, bright crimson through to the rim. Black fruits, led by blackberry, are accompanied by licorice, dusty tannins and a splash of cedary oak. I'm pretty certain this will be a lovely Bin 128 in 10 years' time.”
