1990 Penfolds 'Bin 95' Grange - Museum Collection

Critic Reviews
100 Points - Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal
“Generous dense supple wine with extraordinary fruit density and attack. One of the greatest. Drink Now-2060”
98 Points - Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator
“Magnificent, exotic, a veritable cascade of opulent flavors - earthy currant, black cherry and licorice - on a grand frame of incredible length, wrapped in finely grained tannins. Feels like it can age through 2010 or 2020, at least.”
98 Points - James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
“Blackberry, blueberry, spice and dark chocolate aromas. Full body, deep and powerful. Just a baby. Layered. Goes on for minutes. Drink or hold.”
97 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion
“Destined to be one of the greatest Granges. A beautifully weighted and concentrated bouquet, with seamless fruit and oak; masses of dark cherries and plum. In the mouth a superb wine; while the fruit is opulent, it is not excessively so; indeed there is a touch of near austerity to the fine tannins to give the wine both character and balance. The iron fist in a velvet glove. Notes Sourced from The Rewards of Patience - Fifth Edition : Outstanding vintage Drinking Window: Now – 2040 Deep crimson. Immensely concentrated, beautifully perfumed wine with deep, dark, chocolate/spicy/mocha/malty aromas. A very rich, ripe, supple palate with deep blackberry/chocolate/liquorice fruit, malt/vanilla oak nuances and satin smooth tannins. A superbly-balanced wine. A very great Grange vintage with tremendous finesse and understated power. 95% Shiraz, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Kalimna Vineyard (Barossa Valley), Barossa Valley, Clare Valley and Coonawarra. Voted ‘Red Wine of the Year’ by Wine Spectator magazine in December 1995. A very great Australian vintage with a perfect warm, dry, growing season and harvest.”
