Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker 91 | |
| "The Bin 90A is an outstanding wine with a deep, saturated ruby/purple color, and a smoky, roasted herb, blackcurrant, jammy-scented nose. Thick, rich, and full-bodied, with elevated tannin, this spicy, boldly-styled wine will drink well for 15-20 years." | |

| Bin 90A is part of the special bin program developed by Max Schubert, the creator of the acclaimed Grange. The program was created in the early 1960's to isolate certain outstanding parcels of vineayard that produced exceptional wines. The Bin 90A is only the third special release since 1962. | |

| Tasted at the Fine Wine Experience Dream Fourteen tasting with Peter Gago. Sourced directly from Penfolds' library reserves. This is much more muted on the nose compared to the Bin 707. Sultry black cherries, raisin, a touch of date and Satsuma developing with time, good definition but this needs some more cellaring. The palate is medium-bodied, beautifully balance and pure with polished, rounded tannins. Very supple and lithe with mint, macerated black cherries, dates, leading to a sleek, liquorice and peppermint infused finish. The Bin 90A is a very classy number and at 20-years young, just a pup. Drink 2015-2030+ Tasted October 2009. |
