"Love at first sniff! This young pinot noir blend – Tasmania, Yarra Valley – hits the spot with its nicely toasted gorgeous oak, black cherries, plum, dried raspberries, light spice, sage and thyme aromas. It just resonates an inviting elegance and sets the scene beautifully for what follows. The smart oak presence continues to be a big plus to this wine, an inviting layer of gently nutty, spiced complexity in tune with tightly packed purple fruits, summer berries, red liquorice, cranberry, dried herbs. A brush with fresh acidity lifts, while fine tannins deliver a strong summery feel and gentle textural quality through to the finish. Brings both charm and complexity in equal measure to the glass. 2026 – 2033." - 94 Points, Jeni Port, Wine Pilot
"First made from Adelaide Hills fruit in 1997, Bin 23 was sourced in Tasmania from the 2021 vintage and this year includes fruit from both Tassie and the Yarra Valley. It's an evolution focused on freshness, resulting in a dancing palate with racy acidity and fine, silky tannins, its juicy raspberry and cherry fruit enlivened with pops of pomegranate. A step-change from the rest of the Penfolds stable, it's light, lively and thoroughly enjoyable. Not available in Europe." - 93 Points, Julie Sheppard, Decanter
"Bright, light to medium red laced with purple and there's a beautiful, lifted fragrance of red cherry and five spice, the palate light-medium bodied and elegant, with light, fine-grained tannins, lovely balance and immediate drinkability." - 92 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
