The Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1989 presents itself as a medium crimson wine, emanating enticing French plum and musky tea-like aromas, complemented by a hint of liquorice. This Grange, suitable for any occasion, showcases flavors of redcurrant confit and blackcurrant pastille, bursting with fruity sweetness. These flavors are harmoniously accompanied by underlying notes of vanilla oak and chocolate. The dry, silky tannins provide an impeccable balance, resulting in an exquisite and delightful drinking experience.
Renowned as Australia's most distinguished wine, the Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz is celebrated for its exceptional fruit complexity and flavor richness. This meticulously crafted wine combines the intense richness of Shiraz with the ripe tannins, fragrant nuances, and fine-grained American oak. In select years, a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon is introduced to enhance aromatics and palate structure.
The 1989 vintage marks a significant transition, as it is the last to be labeled as Grange Hermitage. Subsequent vintages are released simply as "Grange." This particular wine is currently at its peak, showcasing a remarkable combination of fresh dark chocolate, dark cherry, plum, and panforte aromas, accompanied by herb garden and sage notes on the palate. The luscious wine boasts deep-set fleshy raspberry, dark plum, and dark cherry fruits, complemented by fine chocolaty/vigorous tannins, mocha coconut oak complexity, and a pleasing sweet fruit viscosity. The finish is firm with chocolaty overtones, featuring blackcurrant pastille and leafy notes, surpassing its vintage reputation with considerable distinction. Enjoy this exceptional wine now through 2030.
