First created in 1962, Bin 128 was conceived as a cool-climate Coonawarra counterpoint to the warmer, fuller-bodied Bin 28 Shiraz, giving collectors a fascinating view into Penfolds' long-running exploration of regional Shiraz styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoonawarra has been the home of Bin 128 since the inaugural 1962 vintage. As a single-region wine, Bin 128 captures the district's distinctive climate and its elegant, structured expression of Shiraz. This 1972 vintage belongs to the formative decades of the label, before the modern refinement of the range, and offers historical significance within the broader Penfolds cellar story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistoric 1972 vintage of Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Coonawarra release from one of Penfolds' classic Bin labels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImportant reference point in the evolution of Penfolds regional Shiraz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectible bottle for Penfolds enthusiasts and Australian wine history collectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a mature bottle from the early 1970s, this wine should be approached for its aged character and historical interest.
