HISTORY:
First produced in 1959, named after the Kalimna Vineyard acquired by Penfolds in 1945; has become one of the flagship Shiraz wines of the Penfolds “Bin” range.

TASTE (PALATE):
Full-to-medium-full body, firm but smooth tannins, substantial palate presence; rich and bold but drinkable; acidity supports the structure; overall impression of warmth and maturity

FINISH:
Long finish with dark fruit and spice oak tail notes; chocolate, vanilla, some smoky / toasted wood leading; supported by acidity and tannin so the finish remains clear and persistent.

FLAVOR:
Flavor is mature and bold, with dark jammy fruits and black cherry richness; oak and spice are present but supportive; acidity and tannins balanced; some warmth from roasted or meaty notes; finish may show mineral or earth tones.

FOOD PAIRING:

历史:
Bin 28 首次酿造于 1959 年，酒款以 Penfolds 在 1945 年买下的 Kalimna 葡萄园命名；后来成为 Penfolds “Bin” 系列中重要的设拉子酒款之一；虽为 “Kalimna” 名称，但多数葡萄来源为多个产区，并不完全来自 Kalimna 单一葡萄园。酒款以其温暖气候设拉子风格 + 可陈年性闻名。

调配与陈酿:
发酵后在熟橡木桶（seasoned American oak hogsheads）中陈酿约 12 个月；橡木桶多为美国橡木熟桶，其中少量使用略新的桶；部分年份也混合多个产区的葡萄，以取得丰富与平衡。

香气:
气味浓郁，带有深色浆果／黑色果实（黑莓、深李子）、巧克力／摩卡／香料（肉桂、胡椒）、还有香草与烤橡木的调子；某些年份显现焦糖、咖啡或甘草气息。

口感:
酒体丰盈至中厚，单宁坚实但光滑，有一定力量；口感浓郁而丰富，但也可入口；酸度足够支撑酒款结构；整体给人温暖与成熟感。

余韵:
余味长，有黑果与橡木香料混合的尾调；带有巧克力、香草、些许烟熏或烤木的后味；酸度与单宁尾段支撑，让尾韵清晰且持久。

风味特征:
果味成熟、重量感强，中段有黑果酱与黑樱桃甜美感；橡木与香料味融合良好但不压果；酸度与单宁平衡较佳；带有少许肉味或烤味等暖调；尾段可能带矿物或土壤感。
