Critics Ratings

Penfolds Thomas Hyland Shiraz 2003
"Supple and spicy, a medium-weight red with a plum character at the center and earthy, cedary notes around the edges." - Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator (Sep 2005)

Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz 2000
"The straightforward, earthy, red and black currant-scented and flavored 2000 Shiraz Bin 128 possesses good spice, medium body, and a short finish." - Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Aug 2003)

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 1994
"The fleshy, sweet, peppery 1994 Shiraz Kalimna Bin 28 is a full-bodied wine revealing moderately intense blackberry fruit along with licorice, smoke, and pepper in the nose. There is not a great deal of complexity in this chewy, dense Shiraz, but it does display plenty of guts and a robust personality....." - Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Feb 1998)

Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz 1996
"Crisp, almost bright even though it's almost 4 years old, focusing its plum, spice and tobacco flavors on an elegant frame that feels more like Cabernet but tastes like Shiraz." - Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator (Dec 1999)

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2002
"Medium ruby. Black cherry, toasty oak, dark chocolate and a subtle leathery note on the nose. Quite thick on the palate, with concentrated flavors of dark plum and bitter chocolate, along with a slight raisiny quality. Chunky and solid on the back end, conveying a distinctly ripe tone." - Josh Raynolds, Vinous (Jul 2005)

"The antithesis of the Bin 128 is Penfolds' 2002 Shiraz Bin 28 Kalimna, which comes from warmer vineyards. A fuller-bodied effort, it possesses sweet berry and plum-like fruit, notions of white chocolate and pepper, a deeper, fleshier feel in the mouth, good exuberance, and a chunky personality." - Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Oct 2005)
