Vintage 2020 Andrew Caillard MW. Deep crimson. Fresh and complex with classical blackberry, dark chocolate, panforte aromas with hints of ginger and underlying mocha/ roasted chestnut/ hint bourbon notes. Generously concentrated and inky deep with ample...

Vintage 2001 98 Points Robert Parker. It is always a treat to taste Australia’s most famous wine, Penfolds’ Grange cuvee (the word Hermitage has been dropped because of legal issues). The 2001 Grange is one of the few vintages of this cuvee...

Vintage 1998 93 points Huon Hooke. Dark colour: big roasted nose, cooked fruits, toasty charred oak, savoury; a big ballsy wine that is very warm, very ripe and perhaps not as tight or elegant or fresh as a classic Grange. Fat, broad, rich and ample but...

Vintage 1991 (Cliniced 2016) 97 points Huon Hooke. Typical Grange power and concentration, now nicely mature. A crushed-ant/formic acid note on the nose is typical of Grange of this era (some tasters objected to perceived volatility). A touch of mint in...

Vintage 1990 (Cliniced 2016) 96 point Bob Campbell MW. From a great Grange vintage so expectations were high. Elegant, balanced wine with liquorice, oak, berry and a suggestion of herbals. Good cedar, cigar box and leather notes. A bit of a surprise...

Vintage 2023 Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz is a robust ensemble of warm-climate Shiraz. The 2023 vintage eloquently expresses Penfolds House Style, balancing fruit intensity with a structure poised for ageing. This makes it both an immediate pleasure and a...
