This has cool-climate, red-toned fruit aromas with a little cassis through the dominant redcurrants and raspberries. Mint and leafy tones, too. Medium body. The palate has fine tannins and red-fruit flavors abound. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
A regional style aged exclusively in French oak hogsheads (24% new), the 2019 Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz hints at cracked pepper and cedar on the nose, backed by deep, plummy fruit and brighter notes of red raspberries. It's medium-bodied (almost light, by Penfolds's standards), framed by silky tannins and a lingering, elegant finish. Drinkable now, it has at least a decade of longevity ahead of it. 2021 - 2030
