The 1985 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz is one of the most revered and collectible vintages in the history of Australia’s most iconic wine. Produced by Penfolds, Grange represents the pinnacle of Australian fine wine and has achieved global recognition for its extraordinary quality, longevity, and investment appeal. The 1985 vintage is widely regarded as one of the standout Grange releases of the twentieth century, celebrated for its immense concentration, balance, and exceptional ageing potential.

Crafted predominantly from Shiraz with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, the fruit was sourced from some of South Australia’s finest vineyard regions, including Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, and Magill Estate. Following fermentation, the wine was matured for approximately 18 months in new American oak hogsheads, creating the distinctive Grange style that has become legendary among wine collectors worldwide.

After four decades of careful maturation, well-preserved bottles reveal remarkable complexity and elegance. The bouquet is deeply expressive, offering aromas of blackberry compote, blackcurrant, plum, liquorice, dark chocolate, mocha, cedar, tobacco leaf, leather, and sweet spice. Layers of earthy maturity and savoury nuances continue to evolve in the glass.

On the palate, the wine remains powerful yet beautifully integrated, displaying concentrated flavours of dark berries, cassis, dark chocolate, espresso, spice, roasted nuts, and mature oak. Silky tannins and vibrant structure support the wine’s impressive depth and persistence, demonstrating why the 1985 vintage is considered one of the great long-lived Granges.

The finish is extraordinarily long and harmonious, with lingering notes of black fruit, cedar, tobacco, cocoa, and spice. Rarely seen in pristine condition, the 1985 Penfolds Grange is highly sought after by collectors, investors, and enthusiasts seeking a genuine piece of Australian wine history.

A cornerstone bottle for any serious cellar, this legendary Grange showcases the remarkable ageing potential and enduring prestige of Australia’s greatest wine.
