2004 Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz

Having this clear deep ruby wine with BBQ. It offers light black fruit and vanilla aroma with little spice note. On palate, this dry wine gives light black berry flavour and spice with a medium licorice flavour at the end. Medium acidity with soft or even weak tannin. The finish is weak and short with a little minty flavour lingering for a few seconds. Not bad for a dinner wine with BBQ. (87) (Tasted on 28 September 2008, reposted)
