1990 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 750ml

Just Below Base of Neck

Critic tasting note: (1990 vintage) “This is a charmingly brash and impressively bold expression with blueberry, blackberry and mocha ,as well as cedary oak. The palate is very fleshy, concentrated and dense with a sturdy bed of polished and long tannins. Such impressive length, youthfulness and power. Wow! Drink or hold.” – 98/100,James Suckling

Producer Notes

The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australias most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the worlds great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia. This release in 2021 commemorates the 70th anniversary since Grange was first made.
