Critic reviews

"The 2021 Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz is blue-fruited and spicy, with blueberry compote, salted licorice, blackberry bramble and olive tapenade. In the mouth, the fruit is powered by an effusive wall of soft, pillowy tannin, and there's lovely length through the finish (shaved fennel/garden mint through here). It's pure and blue and spicy. It matured for 12 months in French oak hogsheads (21% new). 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork."

"The 2021 Shiraz Bin 128 is a stunning release and shows a superb mix of power and refinement. It delivers all sorts of enticing aromas, including roasted meats, soy sauce, white pepper and just-ripe blackberry fruits, with killer poise. Toasty oak provides the perfect backdrop. Dry, mid-weight and well-pitched, engaging flavors of dark cherry are laced with layers of spice and charcuterie before a strong, sustained finish. This exceptional value wine is hard to put down."

"Dark purplish crimson. Light but zesty, refreshing nose. Drying finish. Quite a punishing, tannic drink at the moment. It may well blossom but I wouldn’t open it for a while."
