Penfolds 1996 Bin 128 Shiraz

91 Points James Halliday Medium to full red-purple; generous, ripe dark berry/plum, a hint of spice and nice oak on the bouquet announce a concentrated and powerful wine, with dark berry fruit in abundance, lingering tannins and subtle oak. Source: James Halliday. March, 1999

Lifted nose of spice, blackberries, cedar and toasted oak, with a plum end note. Mouthfilling palate - with spicy blackpepper plum flavour dominant and finishing with a strong blackpepper back palate. Fine grained, firmish tannins, in balance, followed by plum, liquorice, toasted oak and cedar aftertaste.
