Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2019

- 93 DECANTER Amy Wislocki (05/2023): „This is a real treat. The oldest wine in Penfolds' famous Bin series, Bin 28 is archetypal, rich South Australian Shiraz. The fruit is deep, rich, dark and slightly salty – plums, currants and blackberries. You'll also detect a lick of vanilla from the 12 months spent ageing in American oak. Big, ripe and warm, but fresh and vibrant at the same time. There's a reason why Penfolds is one of the best known names in Australian wine.“ Drinking Window: 2023-2035

- 93 Punkte, Wine Spectator, MaryAnn Worobiec: „Ripe blackberry, blueberry and framboise flavors are plump and balanced, with notes of rosemary, sage, black walnut liqueur, Dutch cocoa powder and dried violet, followed by wonderfully velvety tannins on the finish.“ Drink now through 2045

- 93 FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Der seit 1959 unter der Bezeichnung Kalimna nach einem Weingarten im Barosssa Valley bezeichnete Klassiker »Bin 28« kommt heute als Multi-Vineyard-Blend aus vier Regionen. Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine ätherische Würze, ein Hauch von Sanddorn, frische Brombeeren, ein Hauch von grünen Oliven, etwas Lakritze im Hintergrund. Stoffig, dunkle Beerenfrucht, schwarze Kirschen, gut integrierte Tannine, elegant und gut anhaftend, zart salzig im Nachhall, bereits zugänglich, schokoladige Nuancen im Rückgeschmack.“  (jetzt bis 2040)

- 92 Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Joe Czerwinski: „The 2019 Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz blends fruit from McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Wrattonbully and puts it into used American oak hogsheads for a year prior to bottling. Scents of vanilla jump out on the nose but quickly recede under a wave of gently caramelized plums and cherries. Full-bodied and supple on the palate, it's concentrated and lush, with a rich, velvety finish.“ Drink Date 2021-2030
