Winemaker Notes
Bright on the palate. Volume, generous in every sense. A purple fruit spectrum unfolds – a fresh assortment of plums and dark berries – many varieties of both. What may appear to be a soft, smooth Haighs Chocolate-like mouth-coating to some… is a roasted eggplant texture/creaminess to others! Tannins – soft and even, texture - almost velvety/suede. Yet, still tarry!

The 2014 Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz is a delicious drinking red. The wine serves up loads of black fruit flavors, with a hint of tar and that stays pleasing and smooth on the palate. Drinks well now and a perfect choice with grilled beef. (Tasted: August 23, 2016, San Francisco, CA USA)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Shiraz Kalimna Bin 28 is open for business with a gorgeous nose yielding tons of spice box and berry preserves notes, plus suggestions of licorice and chocolate box. It is soft and supple on entry in the mouth with rounded tannins, rich fruit and a long, spicy finish.

Wine Spectator
Notes of fresh clay, black tea, rosemary, mineral and black licorice expand on the finish. The tannins are dense and thick, providing a chewy background for all the flavors. Drink now through 2028.

James Suckling
Pitched as a showcase of warm-climate Australian shiraz, this takes its name from an area of the northern Barossa although it's a blend of regions ? namely Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Wrattonbully, Port Lincoln and the Clare Valley. It's a wine that begins with a coal/smoky edge, tarry and assertive oak, some mocha and roasted coffee, and then a mix of plum cake, raisins, blackberries, plum pie and caramelised meaty notes. The palate's full, soft and rich. The plum and blackberry-fruit flavors are bold and fleshy, matching well with tannins that are nicely played and hold the finish open and long. Really smooth, quite dense and even. Meaty and developed enough to drink now, even if this has the structure to take it through to 2025 and beyond.

Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then a series of stand-out wines both white and red have been released under the Penfolds masthead.
Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker and only the 4th custodian of Grange, relishes the opportunity to bring Penfolds to the world stage and is an enthusiastic ambassador and natural educator. Penfolds came to the attention of the US market when 1990 Grange was Wine Spectator’s ‘Wine of the Year’. Since then, Penfolds Grange has become one of the most collectable wines of the world and was honored to grace the front cover, once again, of Wine Spectator, with declarations of Grange as Australia’s Icon.
