2011 Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz

Accessibility is the key. Lock up the 2010. Pour the 2011.

Finessing bottling dates and oak regimen has paid dividends.

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

90+/100

Deep garnet-purple in color and possessing a great aromatic core of blackberries and black plums with nuances of cedar, aniseed, damp earth and charcoal.

Medium to full-bodied 2011 Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz has a solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and refreshing acid cutting through the muscular berry and earth flavors before finishing with good persistence.

3,800 bottles were made. Drink it 2014 to 2020+.
