In the glass, Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz typically displays a deep garnet or purple color, reflecting its concentration and maturity. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries, plums, and black cherries, along with hints of spice, pepper, and subtle oak nuances. When it comes to taste, this Shiraz delivers a full-bodied and well-structured palate. It presents flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate, and a touch of licorice, with a backbone of integrated tannins and a long, lingering finish. The wine's oak aging contributes to its complexity and adds layers of spice and vanilla. Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz is known for its consistency, depth, and aging potential. While it can be enjoyed in its youth, it also has the capacity to develop further complexity and nuance with proper cellaring. This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled and roasted meats, rich stews, game, and flavorful cheeses. Its robust character and bold flavors make it a popular choice for meat-centric meals and special occasions.Tasting Notes
COLOUR Deep, dense cherry-black NOSE Dark and brooding. Primary blackberry fruits and black olive tapenade notes segue to black jelly bean; soot. A formic/V.A. lift merges with odours remini scent of the burnt crystallised crust of a freshly (over) baked fruitcake. Caramelised black fig, quince and quandong paste, and juniper add to the evocative mix. Certainly ripe, but not overripe. At once Bin 28 Shiraz. PALATE Sheen/shine/gloss/flesh – which to choose to best describe the immediate impression of that first sip? Or maybe all four?! And yet there’s an enlivening acidity that drives the palate ... a palate-shape of three dimensions – or as overheard “Well put together”. Embracing, interwoven, malleable tannins support a chewy appetising mouthfeel. But what does it actually taste like? Bitter chocolate to the fore, pipe tobacco and a mass of dark-berried fruits throughout. Oak? Look harder ...it’s there!Product Details
