Penfolds Bin 95 Grange 

 

2006 Penfolds Grange    "2006 takes the energy and vitality of 2002 and the opulence and stamina of 2004 and finds a middle ground, in a ravishing state of contentedness... A marvel of flavour engineering, throbbing with satsuma plum... Seamless, impeccably refined tannins rise like a tsunam... has ascended to the lineage of legends" - Tyson Stelzer, 99 points; Strikingly complex array of black characters... an extremely powerful Grange. Great future" - James Halliday, 98 points; "Holy cow Batman - this is one hell of a wine! ... A show-stopper!" Nick Stock, 98 points; "It's quite delicious, and yet there's no question that it's powerfully wrought... Impeccable winemaking, pure fruit, clasps of uncompromising tannin, smokin' barrels, and thrust. It will live for a very long time" - The Wine Front, 97 points; "An outstanding wine.
