Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1999
|
| |
|
|
Deep purple crimson. Dark juicy blackberry/ mulberry/ herb garden aromas with malty/ savoury oak. Lovely concentrated palate with
deep set blackberry/ mulberry/ apricot/ herb garden/ graphite fruit, mocha oak and chalky firm tannins. Finishes long, sweet and
savoury. A beautifully balanced wine. 100% shiraz.
Kalimna Vineyard (Barossa Valley), Barossa Valley, Magill Estate (Adelaide) McLaren Vale, Padthaway Blend. Dry winter conditions
were followed by intermittent rains. Rain fell during November and December but just enough to maintain healthy vines. The Barossa
and McLaren Vale experienced heavy rains in March and ripening slowed. Despite this, vineyards with good drainage produced fruit
of exceptional quality. Padthaway escaped the burden of March rain and experienced a great vintage.
Halliday -
Concentrated blackberry and licorice fruit, the oak perfectly integrated. A powerful, masculine style, a touch more austere than the '98.
Rating 95 Drink 2029 Date Tasted Jul 03
James Halliday - "Deep purple-red, it oozes blackberry, blackcurrant and licorice from every pore, the palate a sumptuously smooth velvet cushion of small black fruits. It will outlive anyone who can afford to buy it.
