Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling (Formerly Reserve Bin) 2003
Jeremy’s score 93/100Light, slightly confectionary aromas of lemon sherbet, spicy apple and pear. Long and juicy, but reasonably phenolic and chalky palate whose pleasing varietal flavours culminate in a persistent and tangy finish. Pleasing balance.

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling (Formerly Reserve Bin) 2004
Jeremy’s score 93/100With some of the juicy roundness of a modern Alsatian riesling, this creamy and generously flavoured wine has a chalky chassis of fine Eden Valley phenolics. Its delicate floral aromas of citrusy and apple-like fruit have a pleasing dusty earthiness, while lemony/limey acids tightly define the slightly oily palate.

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling (Formerly Reserve Bin) 2005
Jeremy’s score 91/100Intense, penetrative lime juice and lemon rind aromas with a floral, mineral and bathpowder-like background precede a long, tangy and tightly focused palate punctuated by refreshing acidity. There’s a slightly candied and overripe aspect about the fruit, but it’s still a delightful wine that finishes long, lean and stylishly taut.

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling (Formerly Reserve Bin) 2006
Jeremy’s score 94/100Delicate floral aromas of apple, pear and lemon rind overlie nuances of minerals and dried herbs. Long and lean, its rather schisty, tart and austere palate delivers a zesty cut of tightly focused citrus flavours, finishing with attractive length. It’s still rather subdued and youthful, and while it lacks the opulence of other vintages, is likely to emerge into a finely crafted wine.

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling (Formerly Reserve Bin) 2007
Jeremy’s score 90/100Tight, focused and austere, this young, floral riesling has an accentuated aroma of tinned tropical fruit, apple, guava and lime juice, with schisty mineral undertones. Its long, slightly powdery palate begins with juicy, rather tangy vibrant fruit, before honing in towards its refreshing, zippy finish of citrusy acids.

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling (Formerly Reserve Bin) 2008
Jeremy’s score 93/100Long, fine and supple, this attractive Eden Valley riesling presents typical elegance and focus. Its dusty perfume of white flowers, apple, pear and lie juice precedes an austere and chalky palate whose delightfully penetrative flavours of pear, apple and lime culminate in a long, briny and slate-like finish.

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling (Formerly Reserve Bin) 2009
Jeremy’s score 94/100Very fresh, focused, mineral and shapely, this long term wine has a fresh perfume of white flowers and lime juice with schisty undertones. ItÕs fresh and pure, tightly focused and austere, with a long, bright presence of lime juice and pithy lemon flavour above a mineral texture, finishing long and fresh, with tightly focused acidity.

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling (Formerly Reserve Bin) 2010
Jeremy’s score 95/100Long and shapely, this fresh and focused riesling delivers a crystalline expression of pure lime juice, pear and apple flavour lifted by scents of white flowers and backed by suggestions of chalk and mineral. It’s pure and evenly paced, with a brilliance of fruit underpinned by a schisty, textured lick of wet slate. Excellent balance and future.
