1989 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 750ml

Bottle Option: No.1 Good Label Condition No.2 Cellar-Stained Label 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.  Drinking Window: 2000-2035 Alcohol ABV: 13.5% Blend: 91% Syrah & 9% Cabernet Sauvignon Critic tasting note: (1989 vintage) "A warm year has resulted in a typically full-weighted wine, albeit, one that is now at, or even past its apex of maturity. Avuncular aromas of cinder-box, tamarind, clove and varnished leather, with a wisp of menthol and muscle rub. A core of sweet curranty fruit lingers. There is plenty of charm here and with that, imminent appeal for those picking up a bottle in the secondary market. Drink now." - 92/100, James Suckling
