Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz, 2005

Australian rack of lamb, Australian Shiraz--that's a good match, recognized by all at the table.

Deep and dark, looks young for a 20-year-old wine. Strong black fruit smells and flavors--blackberries, black raspberries, menthol, some floral tones. and French oak spices. We have had this wine several times over the past decade, and it has evolved a bit but still has the same black fruit Shiraz personality.
