Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz 18 750 ml

Medium-bodied – well-proportioned, yet not big. Layered. Appetising, juicy ... laced with cracked black pepper, red spices (Hungarian paprika) and caraway. A skerrick of (cherrywood) oak and brick-dust tannins – verging on chalky Fruits evident, yet the savouries beckon greater attention (glazed meats, green olive, capers). Yet another manifestation of the flavours and structure of cooler-climate French oak-matured shiraz ... channelled via a Penfolds winemaking lens. Peak drinking: 2021 - 2034
