'This richly fruited, smooth and sumptuous shiraz has a deeply layered aroma of fresh blackberries, raspberries and blueberries, without so much as a hint of overcooked fruit. It's backed by fragrant new oak, with slightly meaty ' almost gamey ' and floral undertones. Framed by moderately firm, fine-grained and pliant tannins, its plush, sweet-oaked palate of juicy and almost confectionary dark berry/plum fruit finishes with a suggestion of briar and a hint of gamey development. Already very approachable, but destined to improve for some time. Drink 2012-2016+.'

Wine Advocate 90 points!'Penfolds' Shiraz lineup is impressive. Leading off is the 2004 Shiraz 'Kalimna Bin 28'. Purple colored, it has an attractive nose of smoke, grilled meat, and blueberry. Medium to full-bodied, it is a straightforward Shiraz with loads of flavor, good balance, and a moderately long finish. It is a very good value. Penfolds, arguably Australia's most famous winery, continues to perform at a high level under the leadership of Head Winemaker, Peter Gago.'

Campbell Mattinson 92 points!'Fresh, musky, plummy, raw. Extraordinarily primary. Impressive fruit focus and purity. Right in the groove. Lovely tannin framework. Exemplary fruit. Will be a beauty in time. Even if there is a deal of eucalypt.'
