Penfolds is one of Australia’s oldest and most iconic wineries, established in 1844 and renowned for its bold red wines. It was also among the first to adopt a multi-region and multi-winery production model. Starting with the 2019 vintage, Penfolds updated the label of one of its flagship wines, changing the name from “Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz” to simply “Bin 28.” While the blend still includes fruit from the Kalimna vineyard, it is no longer exclusively sourced from there. The previous label was considered misleading, and the change was made to better reflect the wine’s evolving multi-regional character.

Angus Hughson

The 2018 Grange Bin 95 is an ultra-premium blend of Shiraz and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. It will go down as one of the great Grange vintages with immaculate balance and poise despite immense concentration. The sheer density of fruit is breath-taking, with exceptional vitality also on display. There is a dense, muscular core of fruit including blackberries, licorice, tar and dried sage in perfect alignment with decadent but well integrated American oak. Despite superb palate concentration, it is also surprisingly light on its feet and vibrant with wave after wave of brooding dark berry fruit and soy sauce flavours. A deep well of tannins also support an almost endless and distinguished finish. This will age incredibly well and improve for decades.

Opulent, ripe fruit. Heady perfume. Brambles and a round composition with masses of ripeness. Dry end, for the moment, but very rich up to that point. (JR)
