Penfolds Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling - 2023 (750ml)

97 points Vinous

This scintillating 2023 Riesling Bin 51 illustrates the magic to be found in the Eden Valley from this vintage. It offers up a freight train of vibrant, precise aromas as it bursts with lime juice and pith with an exotic floral lift, plus a touch of sulphur from recent bottling, which will fade quickly. There's a beautiful compact shape, too, all tight, focused and pristine. There is fantastic power and volume of fruit to follow, with al-dente acidity providing the perfect backbone as its powers through to a long, sustained, vibrant finish. Brilliant stuff from a great year.  - By Angus Hughson on July 2023

The 2023 Bin 51 Riesling leads with an austere, searing nose of grilled lime, bath salts, lemon zest, crushed quartz, preserved citrus and pear skin. In the mouth, the wine is fleshy in its way and light on its feet. It's a beautiful wine, poised without being heavy or concentrated, and there's a cleansing finish that has a rounded feel to it. It doesn't unfurl like the 2022 did, but it is so pretty regardless. Flowers. 11% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Erin Larkin
