Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz750mL Bottle, $120.00

Lifted, fresh. Avec acuity, focus. Unabashed regional flavours of blackberry/raspberry/juniper coalesce with those of a more-than-likely choco/oak derivation. A formic/V.A. ‘pulse’ combines with powdery tannins… massaged by lively acidity. A potent structural/textural statement indeed! At time of tasting/writing, the blend’s French oak maturation contribution appears more obvious than that from America.

Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz750mL Bottle, $120.00

Certainly less confected (literally) and meatier than the nose might suggest – flavours akin to Greek lamb and rosemary, bone marrow/steak tartare, carpaccio of assorted meats. Yet fruits and berries are evident, manifested primarily via an impression of a juniper/strawberry/cranberry reduction. And cola. Sleek tannins and the interface of judicious oak facilitate a plush and glossy Bin 150 disposition, avec sheen.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.3<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Barossa Valley<br /><br />Vintage: Contact store to confirm vintage availability<br />

Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz750mL Bottle, $120.00

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: Contact store to confirm vintage availability<br />

Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2023 750mL, $55.00

The delicate scent of talcum powder, refreshing mineral/floral notes of bath salts. Hints of candle wax, pressed linen and a nutty sweetness from pistachios. Intense clarity of preserve lemon, succulent nectarine and zesty pink grapefruit. White macadamia and almond meal undertone, creamy panna cotta like texture. Rich yet perfectly balanced against the taut structure.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 13%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 7.7<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: South Eastern Australia<br /><br />Vintage: Contact store to confim vintage availability<br />

Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 750mL Bottle, $55.00

Nose: Full-flavoured, endowed with a concentrated fruit spectrum of citrus, grapefruit and white peach. Hints of sherbet, camomile and goats cheese complex the aromatic offer – a chardonnay cast assembled from three States of Australia. Certainly, there’s quite the performance happening in the glass, with barely a swirl of the glass and some air required to light up the stage! Palate: First and foremost, this wine extolls freshness, yet not at the expense of an endearing richness and generosity of flavour. Whilst some may perceive it to be slightly ‘larger-framed’ than in previous years it nevertheless retains trademark Bin 311 mineral acidity and linearity. Rockmelon and white peach fruits are pronounced. Underlying sherbet and fresh lemon tart impressions coupled with a lovely creaminess add to the structural and flavour pool. A trademark Penfolds phenolic grip certainly doesn’t curtail length or volume. Yes, proactively rich, fresh and assertive! Drinkability? Do we have to wait?!<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 13.00%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 7.7<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Adelaide Hills<br /><br />Vintage: Contact store to confirm vintage availability<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.
