Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2017 750mL Bottle, $120.00

Certainly less confected (literally) and meatier than the nose might suggest – flavours akin to Greek lamb and rosemary, bone marrow/steak tartare, carpaccio of assorted meats. Yet fruits and berries are evident, manifested primarily via an impression of a juniper/strawberry/cranberry reduction. And cola. Sleek tannins and the interface of judicious oak facilitate a plush and glossy Bin 150 disposition, avec sheen.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.3</br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Barossa Valley<br /><br />Vintage: '2017<br />

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2017 750mL Bottle, $55.00

Well-balanced. Whirling black fruits and an oscillating shiraz disposition – Bin 28 by any other name, personality intact. Flavours akin to a consommé of dried porcini mushrooms; structurally embedded with grainy/sandy tannins. Additionally, tobacco, tobasco and tamarind noted ... okay to mention taut, tenacious?! Exits with an almost negroni / Cynar bittersweet clean finish. Very much looking forward to monitoring this 2017 Bin 28’s journey in bottle.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.3</br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Multi-Regional Blend<br /><br />Vintage: '2017<br />

Penfolds Grange 2012 750mL Bottle, $750.00

NOSE: Unmistakably, it is what it is. In a word, Grange. (Almost) all unleashed immediately upon the first splash into the glass – exuberant, lifted, flamboyant. An aromatic ‘multi-cultural’ chromatogram brazenly unfolds: First, enticing barrel ferment formics and balsamics, spliced with soy, tomato puree, black olive and liquorice (Dutch?). Then, the exotics - wafts of tiramisu/mascarpone/zabaglione (Italy?), replete with freshly roasted hazelnut and ground coffee beans (Kenya?) 30 seconds later… PALATE: Fresh and refined. Nervy. Red liquorice, gravy reduction flavours and black olive tapenade to the fore. And then, just so much more! Where to start? Compelling depth - weighty/voluminous/fleshy - structurally complete and even throughout. A radiant inner sheen, yet still assertive – a film encrusted with dusty, softened tannins that coat tongue. Great length. A loss of innocence, as sculptured oak (purity/clean) and a boundless array of red fruits, congeal into a darkened pool of (un)known and (un)savoury delights! Unashamedly and quite blatantly THE wine of this year’s Penfolds 2016 new releases! Enough said.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.00%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.6</br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Multi-Regional Blend<br /><br />Vintage: '2012<br />
