Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2019
£32.92 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz blends fruit from McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Wrattonbully and puts it into used American oak hogsheads for a year prior to bottling. Scents of vanilla jump out on the nose but quickly recede under a wave of gently caramelized plums and cherries. Full-bodied and supple on the palate, it's concentrated and lush, with a rich, velvety finish. Once again, it's a fine value in South Australian Shiraz, and exported to the U.S. in reasonable quantities (9,054 cases).

Description
Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz is an iconic example of warm-climate Australian Shiraz: ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, it was originally named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard, acquired by Penfolds in 1945, from which the wine originated. Today, Bin 28 is a blend of multiple regions and vineyards, but the Barossa Valley is always prominently represented. The grape variety used is Shiraz.
In terms of winemaking and ageing, this wine comes from several regions: McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Clare Valley. The wine is aged for 12 months in American oak barrels, 16% of which are new.
Taste
Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz has a black ruby and plum colour, with a magenta rim. On the nose, notes of blackcurrant, black plum, ironstone, cocoa powder, dark chocolate and cola are discernible. It also highlights chocolate cake garnished with candied cherries and North African spices such as 'Ras El Hanout', including paprika, cinnamon, pepper, cloves and fennel. On the palate, it is always honest, warm and approachable. You can taste dense, rich notes of chocolate cake, cinnamon syrup with poached red cherries, coconut shavings, milk chocolate, and even a hint of Bounty bar. There are also flavours of summer plum pudding with currants and crème anglaise, marrow broth, Vietnamese Phò, and a complexity and texture layered with earthy spice. The tannins are enveloping and chewy, with acidity reminiscent of cherry.
