THE 2024 PENFOLDS COLLECTION IS HERE!

Penfolds Bin 138 Shiraz Grenache Mataro750mL Bottle, $65.00

Not noted aromatically on 19/6/19, but certainly immediately tasted - earthy Barossa elements abound, coupled with earlier detected savoury red meats. An agglomerate of assorted tannin shapes derived from the trio of shiraz, grenache and mataro set the textural stage – in parallel with a juicy/fruity succulence. A deconstructed Massaman Thai curry accompaniment – direct from the recipe book: cardamom, cinnamon, clove, star anise, cumin, bay leaf and nutmeg. All three varieties carry their weight, all three generously add to the mix.

Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz750mL Bottle, $135.00

Crunchy riberry, deemed a native superfood and often eaten raw – reportedly possessing ‘a refreshing spicy flavour, with a hint of clove and cinnamon’. More familial, more primary – blueberry, glazed black plum and fig. Pronounced and omnipresent oak – still sensitively evoking a (teacake sponge) sweetness. A crisp and clean finish ensues, with a yoghurt “bite” (acidity) completing the package … oh, and were satin tannins mentioned?<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.6<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Barossa Valley<br /><br />Vintage: Vintages Vary<br />

Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 750mL Bottle, $55.00

Nose: Fresh and inviting – complexed by yeast lees-derived nougat and ground pistachio/almond/roasted chestnut. Scents of deconstructed crème brûlée ‘(flamed top and custardy middle), enhanced by ripe white nectarine and peach fruits. A liberal sprinkle of crushed rock/pebble dust (quartz, limestone?) certainly adds interest. Palate: A very lively palate of freshly sliced cucumber and lime citrus flavours hovering over a soft and succulent acid underpinning. A tight phenolic grip induces wonderful length and drive to the finish. A cool climate regional trio – three different chardonnay expressions of texture/acidity/tightness/purity coalesce, propelling combined fruits/flavours. A ‘new Bin 311’ is revealed.

Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz Holiday by Nigo, $91.99

Instantly fresh and fleshy. Some overt single-varietal cabernet and shiraz fruits still sit separate - alongside those hybridised via the blend’s sojourn in barrel and bottle ...time will unite. Expected liquorice, stewed plum and blackcurrant fruits, with dark chocolate and mocha lurking in the background. Savoury and salivating – mouth-watering, succulent acidity. This acidity interplays with integrated, evolved tannins – coating the mouth and adding length.
