PENFOLDS SPECIAL EDITION
2010 PENFOLDS Grange Shiraz
“Focused, elegant, powerful and layered, with plum, currant, floral,
spice and coffee flavors that come together seamlessly and persist
on the long and complex finish. Has presence and deftness in equal
measure, exhibiting well-integrated tannins.”
Harvey Steiman, WINE SPECTATOR, October 1, 2014
2012 PENFOLDS Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon
“Vibrant, focused and elegant, but needs time to bring everything
together. Offers deep flavors of currant, blackberry, potpourri and
spice that weave together seamlessly against a gentle grip of
tannins, expanding beautifully on the long and expressive finish.”

2012 PENFOLDS Yattarna Bin 144 Chardonnay
“Fresh and vibrant, lively and tangy, this brims with green papaya,
peach and almond flavors that cascade over a taut frame. Finishes
with intensity but not weight. Needs cellaring to flesh out the
texture and gain complexity.”
