1990 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 99 points, Wine Spectator 98 points, James Suckling 98 points, Falstaff Magazine 97 points, Jeremy Oliver 97 points, James Halliday 97 points. This is the tasting note for 1990 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - The 1990 performed well in the tasting, but, along with the 1980, was the least impressive of these Granges. The 1990 is loosely knit, seems to border on overripeness with its jammy character, and has a slightly more aggressive style of tannin .. or are the acids more pronounced? It is certainly outstanding, displaying full body along with a classic smoky, blackberry, cassis, pepper, and forest floor-scented bouquet. Of all these wines, it appears to be the most evolved. Grange, Penfolds’ flagship wine, is, by many accounts, the most renowned and world-famous wine produced in Australia, and these six vintages from my cellar all acquitted themselves well. These wines are almost always Shiraz, but many vintages include less than 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and there are cross-appellations blends from vineyards in the Barossa and McLaren Vale.
1990 Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz Eden Valley from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 97 points. This is the tasting note for 1990 Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz Eden Valley from Robert Parker - Medium brick in color, the 1990 Hill of Grace has a very pretty core of cherry cordial, violets, dried roses, cinnamon stick, anise and a whiff of pepper. Medium-bodied, it has great generosity in the mouth balanced by a nice acid line and a medium level of velvety tannins through the long finish. This one still has loads of life .
