[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds Bin 28 2013

 

"An inky Shiraz, rich, dense and chewy with dark berry, liquorice and tar underpinned with spicy oak. Heroic wine that needs to be matched with fairly robust red meat dishes or allowed to age in bottle for at least a few years. Solidly structured with sweet tannins. Very impressive." Bob Campbell, MW

 

 

"Deep red colour with a strong purple rim. The bouquet is sappy, blood plummy and lightly herbal, with sweet, almost jammy inflexions from very ripe fruit. The palate is concentrated and dense, with an amplitude of black fruit flavours, richness and density, the tannins quite robust and just a touch rustic. Indeed, the palate is grippy, the after-palate very firm and authoritative, with long-term aging indicated. On the down-side, it's a little aggressive to be drinking now. Cellar! Drink: 2018-2038." - Huon Hooke

 

"This is a very good release of Kalimna I think. Blackberry nip, Maltesers, brown spices, subtle dried herb perfume. It's full bodied, quite thick and grunting, with firm grainy tannin, a slight saline character and plenty of robust dark berry fruit and dark chocolate flavour. The tannin rolls out thick on the finish. Bold chewy wine. Needs a good few years of cellaring I think. Drink : 2018 – 2033." - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
