Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 2004

Description

Product Description One of the great modern Grange vintages. The 2004 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange is a powerful yet polished expression of South Australian Shiraz, shaped by a near-ideal growing season and matured in 100 percent new American oak. It stands confidently among the finest releases since the early 1990s, with structure and poise that promise longevity well into the mid-century. Sourced from key vineyards in the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Magill Estate, this release blends 96 percent Shiraz with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is archetypal Grange: concentrated, brooding and complete. Still vivid at two decades old, the 2004 vintage carries hallmark fruit density, tightly wound tannins and a composure that places it firmly in the lineage of iconic Penfolds vintages.
