About Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz 750ml 2022
Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz from the Coonawarra region presents a deep, vivid crimson in the glass. On the nose, it opens with an inviting bouquet of dark plum and blackberry fruit, layered with fragrant violets and a whisper of cool-climate pepper. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a silky, refined texture that is characteristic of Coonawarra Shiraz — the region's famous terra rossa soils lending a distinctive mineral precision to the fruit. Flavours of ripe black cherry, mulberry, and dark chocolate unfold alongside subtle notes of cedar, clove, and smoked meat. The wine is well-structured with fine-grained, supple tannins and bright natural acidity that keeps everything lively and focused. The finish is long, savoury, and elegant, with lingering spice and a touch of mocha.
