      The Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1994 is a wine that delivers on its promises. Concentration of flavour, complexity and longevity - Grange blossoms from 15 years of bottle age, when most other reds have past their best, and the best vintages can live and continue developing for decades longer. The Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1994 is a testament to the winemaking expertise and heritage of Penfolds, making it a must-try for any wine enthusiast. 

      The nose is rich and complex, with flashes of green tea leaf and truffle, interlocked with freshly tanned leather and savoury notes, prune and stewed blueberry fruits. The classy oak (cedar) is elevated, yet not overstated, by smoky barrel ferment character. On the palate, this wine is an opulent, intense, hedonistic experience. The layers of massive Shiraz fruit and expertly crafted oak manifest themselves into a seemingly endless variety of flavours - deep plum, liquorice, cedar, chocolate and more. The wine is full-bodied, with a velvety texture and a long, satisfying finish.

      By legendary winemaker John Duval this vintage is comprised of Shiraz (89%), Cabernet Sauvignon (11%) and aged in 100% new American oak for 18 months.

      Combining traditional Australian techniques, inspiration from Europe and precision winemaking practices developed at Penfolds, Max Schubert made his first experimental wine in 1951. In 1957, Schubert was asked to show his efforts in Sydney to top management, invited wine identities and personal friends of the board. To his horror, the Grange experiment was universally disliked and Schubert was ordered to shut down the project. Max continued to craft his Grange vintages in secret, hiding three vintages '57, '58 and '59, in the depths of the cellars. Eventually, the Penfolds board ordered production of Grange to restart, just in time for the 1960 vintage. From then on, international acknowledgment and awards were bestowed on Grange, including the 1990 vintage of Grange, which was named Wine Spectator's Red Wine of the Year in 1995.

      Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1994

      Dense red-purple; the typically rich and powerful bouquet has layers of dark berry fruit and integrated and balanced oak. What makes it unusual is the distinct hint of chocolate, which appears again on the silkily powerful palate. Here there is an array of all of the fruit flavours one could possibly expect, but once again that touch of dark Swiss chocolate adding an intriguing note.

      — James Halliday, 97 Points.

      Full brick-red colour with a pronounced tawny rim. The bouquet is magically complex, with aromas of raisins, licorice, squashed ants, smoked oysters, indeed all sorts of roasted things. A superb old wine.

      — Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 96 Points - Tasted 2018

      Chocolate, milk, blackberry jam, cinnamon and clove spice. Supreme intensity. Very sweet and ripe, with velvety tannin and smooth texture. Perfumed finish with delicacy despite the intense fruit.

      — Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20.

      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.
