Penfolds Grange Bin 95 2011
Truly iconic Australian Shiraz from an excellent vintage, very limited quantities available anywhere in the world.
Penfolds Grange Bin 95 2011 demonstrates remarkable resilience in a challenging vintage. This iteration presents a sophisticated balance of concentrated dark and red berry fruits layered with distinctive cola, sarsaparilla, vanillin, and liquorice notes. The cedar oak integration complements rather than overwhelms the fruit intensity. On the palate, it reveals methodical construction—deep concentration with measured power, exemplary structural balance, and a refined finish. While perhaps more restrained than archetypal Grange blockbusters, it unmistakably carries the Penfolds signature with poise and authenticity, showcasing disciplined winemaking that respects rather than forces the vintage character.
