2012 Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz

The complete package – imminently drinkable – this blend showcases the 2012 South Australian harvest very well indeed.

Understated, and upon first inspection, a relatively elegant expression of Bin 28…yet with stature, and the complete armament of Bin 28 DNA.

Aged 13 months in old American oak hogsheads, the deep garnet-purple colored 2012 Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz opens with a nose of baked blackberries, mulberries and crème de cassis with hints of licorice, baking spices and a touch of tar.

Full-bodied with firm, rounded tannins and tons of fruit, it concludes with a very spicy, long finish.
