Penfolds Magill Shiraz 2020

Region: SA-(Other)
Sustainably-made

  "Vanilla was the first thing I detected but that said it’s not overt. Choc-mint and cloves are part of the show but then ferrous notes, plum, aromatic herbs and a clear burst of fruit on the finish. There’s balance to this release;...

Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "It’s all Coonawarra, it’s all Cabernet Sauvignon and it’s all French oak. The herb notes come straight at you but then the fruit, wow the fruit, it’s a surging wave. Blackcurrant, mint and woodsmoke in pure, commanding,...

  "The grapes for this release were sourced from Padthaway, Coonawarra, Barossa, McLaren Vale, and Wrattonbully. It spent 12 months in a combination of French and American oak, 27% of it new. You have to note the eucalypt but the palate here is...

Penfolds Grange 2017

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Cuddly doesn’t quite conjure the command of Grange but it was the first word to spring to mind. It was only later that I realised that it’s 100% shiraz. It feels it. It’s a grand display of this most come-hither of varieties...

Penfolds Bin 28 2019

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Bring in the barrels. It’s a beautifully integrated, svelte, bold, satisfying red wine with smoky vanillin characters sitting front and centre both on the nose and in the mouth. This is fresh and modern on the one hand but it’s also...

Penfolds Bin 28 2018

Penfolds RWT 2018

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Barossa Valley shiraz. French oak. 64% of the oak is new though all of it is a year old at most. This is also titled Bin 798. I’d imagine that this is French oak as coopered in Australia, rather than the absolute real deal, though...

Penfolds Bin 389 2018

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Grapes sourced from Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Robe and Wrattonbully. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 43% shiraz. All American oak, 38% new. It’s a showy Bin 389 or perhaps by that I mean that the oak shows quite a bit...

Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Penfolds Bin 28 2017

Region: SA-(Other)

  "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...

Penfolds RWT 2017

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "This walks in and takes over the joint. Sweetness, smokiness, creaminess, long chains of tannin, a general swagger. It’s a prime wine, alpha, smooth as silk but hulked up too. All its doubts are ahead of it; for now, it has none. It has to...

Penfolds Bin 389 2017 (Screwcap)

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Medium deep colour. Fresh dark cherry, blackberry, herb garden violet aromas with praline notes. Inky textured and velvety smooth with attractive dark cherry, cassis, blackberry fruits, underlying mocha dark chocolate roasted chestnut notes,...

Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Substantial red wine and such a smooth operator. All the plums and the pleasure. Chinese five spice, soy, crushed ants, curry leaves and kirsch. Oak plays a role, and an important one, but the fruit keeps pushing through it. Tannin folds like...

Penfolds Bin 28 2016

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Bin 28 offers a showcase of warm-climate Australian Shiraz – ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, Bin 28 is named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna Vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine...

Penfolds Bin 28 2015

Region: SA-(Other)

  "McLaren Vale, the Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Robe all make contributions to this “Kalimna” shiraz. It’s a strange world. It spends 12 months in American oak, none of it new. A resiny introduction. Meat,...
