      Structure, longevity, and understated power define this mature vintage from Penfolds. The Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1987 continues the legacy of Max Schubert, whose pioneering work established Grange as Australia’s most revered wine. Sourced from a selection of vineyards across South Australia, the wine reflects Penfolds’ multi-regional blending philosophy, designed to create wines of consistency and longevity. The 1987 vintage followed a warm and dry growing season, producing fruit of concentration and structure, well suited for extended ageing. Without the added provenance of a signed bottle, this release still stands as a classic example of mature Grange, valued for its evolution and balance over time.

      In the glass, the wine shows a deep garnet colour with brick-edged hues, indicative of maturity while retaining depth. Aromatically, it offers a complex interplay of dark fruit, spice, leather, and earthy notes, evolving further with time in the glass. The palate is firm yet composed, with layers of flavour supported by resolved tannins and integrated oak. Despite its age, the wine maintains structure and balance, with acidity providing lift and clarity. The hallmark Grange intensity is present, though expressed through refinement and savoury complexity. This is a wine for slow appreciation, revealing its nuances gradually and offering a compelling sense of history. It pairs well with roasted meats, game, or aged cheeses, while also standing confidently on its own.

      Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1987

      Deep garnet-brick colored, the 1987 Grange reveals notes of dried plums, mulberries and fruitcake with hints of leather, tobacco, earth and spice box. Medium-bodied, the palate is lively and structured with a good line of acidity and a chewy texture, finishing long and savoury.

      — Lisa Perrotti-Brown

      The 1987 Grange is a solid, well-made wine, but it lacks the concentration and depth of the top vintages. It offers a dark ruby color, with smoky, earthy, cassis and spice aromas. Medium-bodied, with firm tannin and a respectable finish.

      — Robert Parker

      Penfolds

      Penfolds has been a pioneer in the world of winemaking since its establishment in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold. The company's success has been driven by a lineage of visionary winemakers who have pushed the development of the company to extraordinary, bold new heights. Mary Penfold's reign at the helm of Penfolds saw years of determination and endeavour, experimenting with new methods in wine production. In 1948, Max Schubert became the company's first Chief Winemaker and he propelled Penfolds onto the global stage with his experimentation of long-lasting wines - the creation of Penfolds Grange in the 1950s. Soon, the medals began flowing, and Grange quickly became one of the most revered wines around the world. In 2012, Penfolds released its most innovative project to date - 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends that have driven the company's success since its establishment in 1844.
