Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz Holiday by Nigo, $43.99

The palate texture is suggestive of cocoa powder while being framed by just enough savoury oak to add structure without dominating. Leading with black fruit characters, it progresses with dark plum and hints of gamey richness (roasted venison). Baking spice notes and a delicate icing sugar dusting add nuance without tipping into overt sweetness. Lively acidity carries through from start to finish, perfectly accompanied by fine structural tannins that contribute to an enduring balance. Despite its depth and layers, it carries itself with typical Bin 28 ease; its complexity is apparent yet approachable.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.5%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.6<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: South Australia<br /><br />Vintage: Vintages Vary<br />

Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 750mL Bottle, $49.99

Nose: Fresh and inviting – complexed by yeast lees-derived nougat and ground pistachio/almond/roasted chestnut. Scents of deconstructed crème brûlée ‘(flamed top and custardy middle), enhanced by ripe white nectarine and peach fruits. A liberal sprinkle of crushed rock/pebble dust (quartz, limestone?) certainly adds interest. Palate: A very lively palate of freshly sliced cucumber and lime citrus flavours hovering over a soft and succulent acid underpinning. A tight phenolic grip induces wonderful length and drive to the finish. A cool climate regional trio – three different chardonnay expressions of texture/acidity/tightness/purity coalesce, propelling combined fruits/flavours. A ‘new Bin 311’ is revealed.

Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz Holiday by Nigo, $109.99
