1994 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 (Green Capsule/Experimental Bottling)

This is a highly intriguing and deeply historic museum-vintage bottle of Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from the legendary 1994 vintage. While the standard commercial release of 1994 Grange famously features a traditional red capsule, this particular bottle stands out with its distinct green capsule and matching green font on the neck print. Bottles bearing this specific green dressing represent rare, ultra-exclusive estate bottlings or specialized experimental/trial batches directly from the Penfolds cellars, making it a spectacular crown jewel for fine wine brokers and serious private collectors alike.

Aside from its unique dressing, the liquid inside belongs to one of the most celebrated Grange releases of the 1990s. Masterminded by the Schubert-inspired blending philosophy, the 1994 vintage captures an incredibly dense, multi-district blend of South Australia's absolute finest old-vine Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Matured for 17 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads, it has evolved over more than three decades into a towering masterpiece of peak maturity.
