Created in 1962, Penfolds Bin 128 is a regional wine that reflects the unique climate and growing conditions of South Australia’s Coonawarra district and the relatively elegant style of cool-climate Shiraz. From the 1980 vintage, French oak replaced American, highlighting the pepper, spice and floral characteristics that define this style. Since this time, greater attention to fruit flavour ripeness has structurally resulted in a more complete and complex wine style.
Critic Reviews
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.”
