Description

Bin 23’s name is derived from the place the wine matures, ‘Cellar 23’ at Magill Estate, and follows in the footsteps of the success and development of the Penfolds Cellar Reserve Pinot Noir. Bin 23 Pinot Noir is a bold and dynamic inclusion to the Penfolds red wine stable – reflecting an evolving style, regional definition, and the complexities of the many and varied pinot noir clones. The relationship between Penfolds and cool-climate regions continues with the multi-regional sourcing of Bin 23 Pinot Noir.

Review

Bin 23 has defined itself as a true pinot noir rather than just another Penfolds red, and if 2019 declared it, 2020 confirms it. Leading out with juicy, spicy, engaging berry fruit purity, it pulls into a finely textured tail of herbal intrigue and intricately assembled, fine-grained, mineral tannin structure. Poached strawberries, fresh morello cherries and just-plucked raspberries declare a magnificent and alluring profile, underlined by nuances of rose hip and a glimmer of exotic spice from judiciously played whole bunch fermentation.

Tasting Profile

Nose
An immediate ascent of wild raspberry and strawberry (conserve) pinot fruits. And, a splash of green olive. Hovering above - floral whiffs to remind of an evening meander in the garden - clusters of daphne, azalea and camellia. Heirloom rose and saffron scents patiently await recognition. A dusty/toasty oak reminder of a relatively short sojourn in barrique.
Palate
Confidently awakens and complexes in the glass. Varietally aligned sliced cold lamb flavours and earthy yet subtle forest floor notes. Strawberry pips, pomegranate, and rhubarb … laced with spices – cola and bergamot leading the way. Wettened graphite (from oak?) to a fine edge. In tandem, a pleasing minerality (wet river stone) complements this pinot’s textural demeanour.
