1973 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 750ml (Clinic 2025)

Penfolds Red Wine Clinic 2025, Freshly Recorked The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia. This release in 2021 commemorates the 70th anniversary since Grange was first made. Blend: 90% Syrah & 10% Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Notes: Barossa Valley (including Kalimna Vineyard), Magill Estate (Adelaide), Modbury Vineyard (Adelaide), Coonawarra.

NOSE Chamomile, citrus peel and chocolate/berry aromas with a touches of soft leather. PALATE Very big and mouthfilling with sweet, stocky fruit and notes of tar, leather and nutmeg. Firm, gripping tannins and long finish. More structured style but still has a very good core of fruit sweetness." - Penfolds
