2021 Penfolds, Bin 28, Shiraz, Australia

Description

First produced in 1959, the Bin 28 has long been a benchmark in Australian Shiraz, and the 2021 vintage is no exception. It leads with a delightfully opulent nose, with notes of berries, spice and chocolate that cascade out into the glass. Its richly fruited and plush on the palate, with tightly woven tannins and notes of cherry cola, coconut and plum. Broad and expansive, the house style is evident with generosity of fruit, particularly on the mid-palate. Its rare to see such ageworthy reds of this quality, at such an affordable price.
