2010 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 Shiraz
99 Points – Robert Parker | 99 Points – James Halliday | 98 Points – Wine Spectator
Penfolds Grange Bin 95 Shiraz 2010 is one of the greatest wines ever produced in Australia — a monumental, profound and utterly compelling expression of Australian Shiraz that has been universally acclaimed as one of the finest vintages of Grange in the wine’s 70-year history.
With 99 points from Robert Parker, 99 points from James Halliday and 98 points from Wine Spectator, the 2010 Grange stands at the absolute pinnacle of Australian fine wine — a wine that is spoken of in the same breath as the greatest vintages of Petrus, Romanee-Conti and Latour.
My Wine Man
This is not just Australia’s greatest wine. This is one of the great wines of the world.
Penfolds Grange was created by Max Schubert in 1951 against the wishes of Penfolds management — a wine inspired by the great Chateaux of Bordeaux but built entirely from Australian Shiraz, aged in new American oak and crafted to last decades. It was initially rejected, then secretly continued, and eventually recognised as one of the most original and important wines ever made.
The 2010 vintage is widely regarded as the greatest Grange of the modern era — a perfect alignment of exceptional fruit, ideal growing conditions and Penfolds’ winemaking at its most precise and inspired.
At HK$3,988, this is one of the most significant fine wine opportunities in the store. If you are serious about Australian wine, fine wine collecting or simply want to experience one of the world’s great bottles, this is it.
What makes this wine stand out
This is all about the extraordinary 2010 vintage and Penfolds’ multi-vineyard, multi-region blending mastery.
Dark blackcurrant, blackberry, plum and dark chocolate sit at the core, with mocha, leather, tobacco, cedar and the characteristic American oak spice that is the unmistakable signature of great Grange. The palate is full-bodied with extraordinary concentration, perfectly integrated tannins and a finish of remarkable length and persistence that speaks to the greatness of the vintage and the wine.
The defining feature is the completeness — every element in perfect proportion, with the kind of depth, complexity and structural integrity that will allow this wine to develop and reward for another 20–30 years.
Monumental, profound and completely extraordinary.
