Penfolds Rawsons Retreat Shiraz Bin 28 Kalimna 2016
Bin 28 offers a showcase of warm-climate Australian Shiraz – ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, Bin 28 is named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna Vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine was originally sourced. Today, Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, with the Barossa Valley always well represented.

Colour

Vibrant, dense plum red, red edges.

Bouquet

A black Kalamata olive tapenade as a first impression, beneath an overlay of camphor and tobacco. Yet blackberry conserve and sour cherry fill the (fruity) treble register. Scents of cut straw/steel cut oats fill any aromatic chord gaps.

Flavour

Full-bodied. Substantial. Finishes intact with a flourish of dusty graphite (input of oak?) and balanced acidity.

Pairing

Meat
Cheese
