Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz (vintage 2003) is the flagship Australian red from a warm Barossa-era year. It’s a collectible, limited-expression Grange that delivers formidable depth, structure, and aging potential. Expect a powerful, balanced Shiraz with integrated oak and evolving complexity that rewards patience.
Tasting notes:
- Appearance: Deep garnet with a hint of brick at the rim.
- Nose: Blackberries and dark plum, with chocolate, espresso, and vanilla oak; touches of licorice, tobacco, and spice.
- Palate: Full-bodied and dense, with fine-grained tannins; flavors echo the nose—dark fruit, cocoa, coffee, and toasted oak; well-integrated acidity supports the structure.
- Finish: Long and persistent, evolving spice, leather, and graphite notes.
