1995 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 750ml

Option 1 Mid Neck, Good labels. Option 2 Base of Neck, Minor Label Stain/s.  Option 3 High Fill, back label stain/s. 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 94% Syrah & 6% Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Notes Barossa Valley, Magill Estate (Adelaide) blend Vintage Notes Despite a difficult vintage, rigorous selection of intensely flavoured grapes from mature vines in some of the finest South Australian vineyards produced a wine that exceeded vintage expectations Ageing 17 months in 100 per cent new American oak hogsheads. Winemaker Peter Gago Producer Tasting Notes COLOUR Deep red. NOSE Complex with masses of concentrated plum, raspberry and blackberry fruit aromas and hints of leather, dark chocolate and spice. PALATE Displaying all the classic hallmarks one would expect of Grange, this is a full-bodied, richly flavoured wine with ripe, dark stewed fruits and mixed spices with seamless, perfectly integrated oak and chewy tannins.
