Critic reviews
"One of the few Penfolds reds matured exclusively in French oak, the 2018 Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz shows a fair bit of vanilla and cedar on the nose, complemented by blueberries, raspberries and peppery spice. Medium to full-bodied, it's not as big or rich as the other Shiraz in the portfolio, but it's attractive for its smooth, silky feel and intricate spice shadings. It should drink well for at least a decade."

"Saturated violet. Deeply perfumed blue fruit and cherry preserve scents, along with potpourri, vanilla and candied licorice flourishes. Lush but also surprisingly lithe, offering sappy blueberry, cassis and cherry-vanilla flavors that turn spicier through the back half. Dusty tannins build with air and frame the wine's lush, dark fruit, which drives a long, smooth finish."
