2022 Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz

94 Points - Ray Jordan, rayjordan.com.au

“A powerful expression of Coonawarra in a season that finished pretty good, providing fruit of great depth and concentration, but with typical regional elegance. Shows lots more meaty shiraz characters than the previous year with a cracked black pepper influence adding further lift. The palate is quite firm with grainy chalky tannins in support. Nice leafy nuance on the finish. These wines can handle extended cellaring.”

94 Points - Dave Brookes, Wine Companion

“A classic vintage for Coonawarra manifests in the glass in an inviting fashion with rich plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits with hints of fine spice, dried meats, licorice root, violets, earth and French oak nuance. It's quite a savoury release with fine, coal-dust tannins and a chewy, sinewy structure with just the right amount of austere grip to its form. There's great length of flavour here and there's no doubt of the wine's cellaring potential.”
