PENFOLDS BIN 60A 2004
The 2004 Penfolds Bin 60A, which was first offered to the public as a futures release (en primeur), is Peter Gago's gesture to the great 1962 Bin 60A. Exquisite parcels of Block 20 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, Koonugna Hill and Kalimna Vineyard Barossa Shiraz were identified and separately vinified at Magill and Nuriootpa in open and closed headed-down fermenters. Towards dryness the wine was racked into 100 new oak where the wine completed fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, individual components were classified and then selected for inclusion into the 2004 Bin 60A blend.
John Bird, former Penfolds senior winemaker and consultant who worked with Max Schubert on the original experimental wines said, "the 2004 Bin 60A has looked very close to the mark at all stages of it's development so far. I think this will be seen as one of Penfolds' top wines of the last 20 years." The Rewards of Patience, 6th Ed. 2008.
Penfolds Bin 60A Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Shiraz --Vintage 2004
South Australia
In individual presentation cartons
Tasting note; Deep in colour. This youthful, elemental wine shows a miraculous overlapping of aromas and flavours. The regional characters of both Coonawarra and the Barossa Valley are finely poised. The highly perfumed, chamomile/violet/mocha aromas, immense concentration, savoury flavours and classically structured palate are in superb balance. This beautifully defined, cross-regional/varietal with its meaty nuanced and fine-grained tannins will continue to evolve in the cellar for decades. PG. 2008
