Tasting Notes:

Deep, bright magenta; black core. Firstly, a burst of curry and Indian spices ... and caraway, cardamom, celeriac. Then: The sweet - rich, coffee-grind, mocha, chocolate-cake, a brioche egginess; fresh sweet oak. The savoury - roasted fat, crackling, rendered beef jus. The subliminal – almost a virtual dust cloud of sprinkled ‘icing sugar’ hovering above.

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. Waiting…

Technical:

Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is a sub-regional expression that is unmistakably Penfolds in character.

Standing on its own two feet, this release delivers a contemporary Shiraz alternative, framed by a mix of oaks; French and American, old and new – crafted in accordance with the traditional Penfolds method.

Autumn and winter rainfall were above average in Marananga, creating an excellent start to the season. Relatively warm temperatures in August accelerated vines out of dormancy early with prevailing warmer than average conditions leading to early flowering. Spring was generally warmer and drier than average, with summer-like conditions.

The low soil moisture slowed vine growth, positively leaving vines with open canopies. January temperatures were lower than usual with the recorded maximum temperatures being the coolest in 22 years. Significant rainfall in early January provided a much needed moisture boost to the vines in the final stages of ripening. Without any extremes or stress, the vines continued to ripen evenly leading into an early harvest. In February, hotter weather prevailed ensuring a fast and early grape intake.


Accolades & Awards:

95 Points - Andrew Caillard MW

"Deep crimson. Aromatic wine with fresh dark plum, blackberry aromas with praline, mocha, herb garden notes. Generous and supple, almost plush in dimension, with sweet dark plum fruits, elderberry, liquorice notes, fine chalky chocolaty textures and underlying sweet vanilla hint marzipan oak notes. Finishes chalky firm, long and sweet. Archetypal Penfolds wine with superb ripe fruit expression, oak complexity and strong Barossa voice of place. Really good wine with the density, richness and balance to last the distance."


93 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz has decadent blueberry pie and crème de cassis notes with touches of milk chocolate, baking spices and dried mint. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it fills the palate with voluptuous, spice-laced black fruit and finishes on a minty note."


93 Points - Huon Hooke

"Very deep, dense red/purple colour. The bouquet is classic Barossa shiraz: chocolate and dark plum, rich and fleshy, ample tannins and smooth texture. A big, solid wine with plenty of structure and grip. Power plus. Concentration as well as balance."


93 Points - Campbell Mattinson

"Substantial red wine and such a smooth operator. All the plums and the pleasure. Chinese five spice, soy, crushed ants, curry leaves and kirsch. Oak plays a role, and an important one, but the fruit keeps pushing through it. Tannin folds like velvet through the back half of the wine. Some volatility but basically the wine is pure silk. "


92 Points - James Halliday

"Matured for 16 months in French oak (18% new) and American hogsheads and puncheons (25% new). The power of Marananga instantly asserts itself, as does the (described by Peter Gago) 'formic/volatile acidity pulse linked with powdery tannins massaged by lively acidity'. Left of centre, I wonder where this will go."
