More information on wine critics and ratings

Created in 1962, Penfolds Bin 128 is a regional wine that reflects the unique climate and growing conditions of South Australia’s Coonawarra district and the relatively elegant style of cool-climate Shiraz.

From the 1980 vintage, French oak replaced American, highlighting the pepper, spice and floral characteristics that define this style. Since this time, greater attention to fruit flavour ripeness has structurally resulted in a more complete and complex wine style.

Colour : Bright plum red.

Nose : Perfumed high notes propelled by glacéed cherry, red jelly crystal aromatics. Elderflower? Florals and cedar beckon attention. A spike of choco-mint reminds instantly of its regional source. Bircher-muesli mix – verging towards more primal/earthy chaff/hay/hay-shed

Palate : Freshness and vivacity – a by-product of this wine’s age and upbringing. Pomegranate/cumquat/beetroot – inducing acidity/grip. Camphor/menthol/spice/focussed/binding– courtesy of French oak (26% new). Chalky/angular/grippy tannins pave the way to a long and lingering aftertaste.

Robert Parker (RP) : 92 Points (2020)
This fruit for the 2020 Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz is from Coonawarra as usual, matured for 12 months in French hogsheads (20% new). The nose is aromatically layered with blood plum, raspberry, red licorice and blueberries and loaded with exotic spice and pink peppercorns. This is a gorgeous wine—totally supple and blue fruited, but all in balance with savory tannin. Elegance 101. For now, it is still frisky and energetic—give it a year to let it settle down.
