Tasting Notes

Aged 13 months in old American oak hogsheads, the deep garnet-purple colored 2012 Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz opens with a nose of baked blackberries, mulberries and crème de cassis with hints of licorice, baking spices and a touch of tar. Full-bodied with firm, rounded tannins and tons of fruit, it concludes with a very spicy, long finish.

Fresh and vibrant, with juicy blackberry and plum fruit, playing against tart balance and finishing with intensity. A pleasant mineral note adds to the aftertaste. Drink now through 2025. 7,040 cases imported.

Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator, December 2014

Dark purplish crimson. Very well mannered and fresh without quite the depth of the 2010. Very dry finish. Needs a bit more bottle age to ripen. Very claret style!
