1983 Penfolds Grange Bin 95
	94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.  The 1983 vintage was seriously affected by the 1982 draught Ash Wednesday bush fires and March flooding.  Summer rainfall was little more than half the average followed by record rainfalls in March.  The 1983 Grange is a great Grange, it will go the distance and may well out live many of us, some wine critics suggest drink until 2033, some 60 years!

1986 Penfolds Grange Bin 95
	87% Shiraz and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Regarded as a vintage of outstanding quality this is a Grange that needs extended cellaring as it hasn't quite reached its peak yet.  Drinking until 2030+  Rated 99 Points by Robert Parker Jnr.

1990 Penfolds Grange Bin 95
	95% Shiraz and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Kalimna Vineyard (Barossa Valley), Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Coonawarra Blend.  Voted Red Wine of the Year, by Wine Spectator Magazine, in December 1995.  Considered to be one of the greatest Granges made, drink until 2040.

1990 Penfolds Bin 920, Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvginon - Shiraz
	Another superb 'Special Bin' wine released by Penfolds on the 8th August 1994 to commemorate Penfolds 150 years of wine making in Australia.  Made from the finest fruit available, soucred from the Coonawarra Region in 1990.  A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.  This is a very intensely flavoured wine which is still in its infancy and can be drunk now but should hit its peak in 2030.

1990 Penfolds Bin 90A
	Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, Kalimna Vineyard Shiraz.  Said to be cellaring superbly, a special Bin release, from the great vintage of 1990.  Drink until 2035.  Perfered over the 1990 Grange by some wine critics during the last Penfolds Rewards of tasting.

1990 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon
	The 1990 Bin 707 is the vintage that launched this label in the United States of America.  This is one is the finest Bin 707's released.

1991 Penfolds Grange Bin 95
	May never reach the same heights as the 1990 Grange but the 1991 vintage was rated 10/10 and the 1991 Grange was awarded 97 Points by leading wine critic Jeremy Oliver.

1996 Penfolds Grange Bin 95
	94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Kalimna Vineyard, Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Magill Estate.  Awarded 98 Points by wine critic Jeremy Oliver, could be a little under valued at the moment in comparison to the 1990 & 1998 Granges.  Drink until 2040.

1996 Penfolds Block 42 Kalimna Cabernet Sauvignon
	A straight Cabernet Sauvignon  from Penfolds Block 42, Kalimna, in the Barossa Valley South Australia.  These vines are the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the world.  Planted in 1888, the wine from these vines is generally blended with Penfolds Bin 707 and Penfolds Grange, however in 1996 & in 2004 Penfolds released a special release wine, Block 42 Kalimna, a wine made entirely from these vines. Pictured left is a Cabernet Sauvignon vine from Block 42, Kalimna, Barossa Valley, planted in 1888.

1998 Penfolds Grange Shiraz Bin 95
	97% Shiraz and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon.  The 1998 vintage is one of the best vintage's on record.  Sourced primarily from Penfolds Kalimna Vineyard in the Barossa Valley, this Grange is a top 'A' grade Grange, rated 99/100 by Robert Parker Jnr.  Should drink until 2040+

1998 Penfolds RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz
	In only its second vintage the 1998 RWT is such a good wine some critics declare it better than some lesser Grange's, for example the 1997 Grange and 1998 RWT.  All the fruit was sourced from the Barossa Valley and the wine was matured in French oak.  A top shelf Penfolds wine with many years of cellaring potential.

1998 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon
	The 1998 Bin 707 has been described as a perfect Cabernet Sauvignon by some wine critics.  Another top notch Penfolds wine that is eagerly sought by wine collectors.  Bottles of the 1998 Bin 707 are currently fetching high prices as are Magnums.
