"This marks the continuing refinement and stylist interpretation if this variety from Penfolds. The fruit comes from vineyards in Tasmania. Fragrant spicy forest floor and sour cherry on the nose with a polished and seductively medium-bodied elegance on the palate. Seamless integration of fruit and oak. A distinctive vibrant cranberry juice lift adds to the palate. One of the best of this relatively late inclusion in the portfolio. The best pinot yet with the influence of the cooler Tassie fruit a key factor."

"Juicy, fruity and friendly, this is a Bin 23 that revels in layers of fresh strawberries and raspberries, beautifully enlivened with the bright acidity of 2022 and set to an impeccable mesh of super-fine tannins. This is a label that is increasingly distancing itself from the Penfolds red winemaking stereotype as it more articulately captures the compelling voice of Tasmanian pinot. A noble evolution indeed!"

"First released as an Adelaide Hills pinot noir in 1997, today the fruit source for Bin 23 has shifted to the isle of Tasmania. This wine from the low-yielding 2022 vintage was matured in French oak barriques (35% new). Bright red in the glass with a lively aromatic profile showing characters of red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry along with hints of sous bois, white truffle, mushroom broth, forest floor, exotic spice and game meats. Medium bodied and fine of frame on the palate showing some nice gamey nuance and a sense of space and clarity. Minerally acidity provides the pulse and the finish fans out with spiced cherry, Peking duck and light amaro tones."

"I have to keep reminding myself that Penfolds Bin 23 is from Tasmania (only) now. I still think of it as an Adelaide Hills wine, which is yet another example of me living in the past. I digress. This wine sees 35% new oak.

It’s a pretty release. It’s all rose petals and sweet red cherries. It has very good freshness this year; gone are the more stewed fruit characters of yore. The finish is smoky, herbal and complex. This release sits on the high side of competent. I’m the last person to suggest a price increase, and I’d reckon that Penfolds already has too many wines in its range, but as I tasted this I thought: Penfolds should really go for gold with pinot noir and try to make something spectacular, rather than putting up this annual stocking filler. I digress again."
