Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz 2022 750mL

Tasting Notes

COLOUR Aubergine, dark purple hues. NOSE An intricate and inviting nose. A savoury mix of roasted pepper beef and Beef Wellington sets a luxurious backdrop, while a sweet spice lift adds a playful lightness. Notes of freshly sliced salami and fennel seed inject an element of meaty, earthy complexity, complemented by the bright essence of blue fruits. Floral highlights of jasmine, gardenia, and violets provide allure, intwined with the grounded sweetness of red berries. PALATE True to its Coonawarra roots, this vintage exhibits a distinctive ferrous red grip on the palate – a hallmark of the region's famed terra rossa soil. Mineral undertones add depth without detracting from the wine's approachability. Firm grippy tannins are well integrated, providing structure while allowing French oak spice nuances to emerge gently alongside hints of cola. Cedar spice weaves through the profile, joined by tart cranberry and redcurrant flavours. Subtle inflections of white pepper mix with classic cigar box aromas and a dusting of paprika for added dimension. Rounded out by a suggestion of rare roast beef that lingers on the finish.
