Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz 2022

Quelle surprise! Penfolds impresses with a multi-regional blend. It’s something they do so well; a combination of vineyard resources and masterful blending with such quality and consistency across their ‘Bin’ range of wines. Deep set satsuma plum, blackberry and blueberry fruits with hints of baking spices, charcuterie, violets, fennel tops, dried herbs, nicely-judged American oak and a gentle earthen hue. There’s a lovely, bright fruit presence here; long, flavourful and delicious now with the promise of excellent cellaring potential. Drink from: 2024. Drink by: 2042. Special Value. Score – 95.
