Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2015

From McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Robe, matured for 12 months in used American hogsheads. Expected depth of colour; McLaren Vale instantly makes its mark with the seductive lick of dark chocolate on the bouquet, and even more so on the palate. But it's not the makeup, least of all heavy, for there are many voices of red, purple and black fruits in the choir. The wine is medium to full-bodied, and perfectly balanced both in terms of flavour and structure. James Halliday
