[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds Bin 128 2002

Launched 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 elegant style of cool-climate shiraz. From the 1980 vintage, French oak replaced American, highlighting the pepper-and-spice characteristics that define this style. Since the mid-1980s, greater attention has been paid to fruit ripeness, resulting in a wine that is fuller in style and structure.   Deep red, with a dark core.  The nose is quite intense, with lifted berry, dark pepper and spice aromas. There are appealing black olive and coal tar notes and French oak overtones of cedar and clove.  The palate is solid, tight and defined and is true to style. Flavours of blackcurrant fruits, subtle oak and fine tannins combine to create an impressive flavour and mouthfeel impression. Refreshing, mouthwatering acidity and a pronounced firm finish complete the offering. This wine will repay medium to long term cellaring, but is drinking beautifully now.  Notes sourced from Penfolds
