4.5 Stars
Huon Hooke
Medium to deep red colour, with a purple edge. Dry and savoury, quite chewy tannins, dense and quite concentrated, with dark fruits, Rhone spices and especially star anise. Long finish with densely packed supple tannins.

RP 90+ points: The 2006 Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz was made primarily from Barossa Valley fruit. It was aged for 12 months in seasoned American oak hogsheads. Aromas of soy, pepper, lavender, blueberry, & licorice lead to a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with layers of spicy black fruit, enough structure to evolve for 4-6 years, & a lengthy finish. Drink this nicely priced wine from 2013 to 2021.
