TOP RANK & FIVE STARS | Huon Hooke, The Real Review
95/100 | James Halliday
With each vintage release of the cool-climate Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz provides an interesting counterpoint to the more opulent and richly concentrated warm climate Bin 28 Shiraz. Bin 128 comprises of fruit sourced from the unique terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, a region that exemplifies the perfume, transparency and seductive nature of cool-climate red table wines. In order to further enhance the regional qualities of Bin 128, the wine is matured in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads.

Structurally impressive. Mouthcoating chalky tannins balanced by cranberry succulence and ripe mulberries. Succulent moreish acidity and tension. A mouth-watering wine, silky the finish. Deserves food, perfect with game or beef.
James Halliday writes "Shiraz from a strong Coonawarra vintage matured in French oak hogsheads (21% new and 22% one-year-old) for 12 months. A strong showing from Bin 128 with this release with plush dark and blue berry fruits with hints of panforte, fine spice, graphite, black pepper, pencil case, roasting meats and earth. There is something comforting and familiar within the wine’s aromas and flavours. Medium bodied, long and fine with excellent balance, energy and structure finishing elegant and pure"
