Product Notes
Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz is a warm-climate, bold red wine which hails from South Australia. This vintage stands as an embodiment of Penfold's multi-region blending philosophy, a heritage approach hailing back to 1959. Aromas of dark berries and plum meld seamlessly with hints of savoury spices and vanilla oak, culminating in a large-bodied, robust palate. Laced with velvety tannins, it is well balanced and offers an enthralling complexity. Maturation in older oak barrels provides a refined fruit character. Ideal for ageing, Bin 28 Shiraz is emblematic of Australia's world-renowned Shiraz wines. Its hearty flavour profile makes it a splendid accompaniment to rich, meaty dishes.
Tasting Notes
Deep dark cherry-red. Nose - Initially, plummy fruits meshed with sweet spices (predominantly cinnamon), almond. And then a pause to imbibe the aromatic atmospherics of a patisserie: Crème anglaise, cannoli with vanilla custard ... and classic bourbon vanilla at that! A croquembouche’s (profiterole) hazelnut brittle. Grated chocolate – both white and dark. Fresh, awakening. Palate - Medium-bodied. Raspberry/chocolate flavours with a sprinkling of spice and cola. Symptoms: Fleshy, and an almost glycerolic texture; bulbous/expansive palate profile.Diagnosis:Tannins – integrated/embedded – supportive, not standing apart. Oak – no obtrusive flavours to speak of ... yet all the benefits of a calm maturation is seasoned hogsheads. Acidity – in tune with the wine’s weight and structure. Cure: Rest in bottle for a year or two. Needs time.
