About this Item
With a pedigree dating back to 1959, Bin 28 is a classic Penfolds style developed under the late Max Schubert's leadership. The wine took its name from the famous Kalimna Vineyard, purchased by Penfolds in 1945. Today's Bin 28 is a multi-district blend, with the Barossa Valley always represented - with significant parcels from McLaren Vale and Padthaway.

Critics Ratings
'Full red-purple; the smooth, dark cherry and spice fruit together with a touch of vanilla oak on the bouquet leads into a strongly structured and concentrated palate. Here dark berry, plum and some more savoury characters are bound up with lingering tannins; patience will be richly rewarded.' - James Halliday, 93/100 (Feb 2001)
'Soft and open-textured, an elegant style of Shiraz, with pretty cherry and pepper aromas and flavors that echo gently on the supple finish. Drink now.' - Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator (Sep 2001)
