- French oak notes are just discernable, providing a cedar/charcoal-carbon backdrop against smallberried fruits. The refined and compact Bin 128 sits comfortably and confidently in the mouth with an appealing texture and softened tannins. Berried fruits, stylish oak and lively acidity add to the palate appeal. Balanced and varietal, this Bin 128 is true to its style, region and vintage and will repay medium term cellaring.
