Penfolds Shiraz Kalimna Bin 28 2021
South Australia, AustraliaFirst made in 1959 as a single vineyard (Kalimna) wine, it has long since morphed into a blend of shiraz from across South Australia. In 2020, the grapes were sourced from McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully, and the Clare Valley. The nose is classic Penfolds pitching aromatics with meaty umami shiraz varietal notes. The attack is a generous mix of fruit, Black Forest cake, and brown spice, all with a bright lift of acidity. It's a complete red wine you can drink now or over the next decade. Just when you think it might get ponderous, there is a rift of minerality to allow the finish to run clean and long.Tasted: 06 August 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $49.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
