Penfolds Bin 28 is a veritable showcase for Australia's warm-climate Shiraz – ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First created in 1959, Bin 28 is named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945, from which the wine was originally sourced. Today, Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, with the Barossa Valley always well represented, providing a substantial proportion of the fruit for this vintage. Taste: Full-bodied and multi-dimensional. An assortment of flavours, including blackcurrant, dates, beef and ale pie, dried fig. Expansive length, depth and weight. Mid-palate fruit sweetness, aligned with solid, firm tannins, culminating in a long, lingering finish. Appearance: Deep black-cherry red. Aroma: An initial lift of coffee grind, mocha, malt and spice that volatilise in turn, together consorting to form an initial aromatic wave. Then, ascending elements of dark chocolate, black liquorice and even dark-berry fruit salad Grape variety: Shiraz
