Grange Shiraz Bin 95 2020, Penfolds

The Penfolds Grange Bin 95 2020 is a powerful, full-bodied, and iconic Australian red wine crafted predominantly from Shiraz with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. It presents a complex aromatic profile of ripe damson plum, black cherry, and blackberry, layered with savory notes of black pepper, licorice, aniseed, and a hint of smoky pan juices. On the palate, it delivers an intense experience featuring flavours of black forest cake, dark chocolate, and warm baking spices, balanced by a dense structure of hefty, fine-grained tannins and a deep, lingering finish. Serve it at 16°C–18°C, ideally after decanting for two to three hours to allow its rich character to open up. It pairs exceptionally well with premium cuts of beef such as Wagyu eye fillet or ribeye, slow-braised lamb, venison, rich truffle-infused dishes, and mature hard cheeses.
