95 points James Halliday (Wine Companion): "Highly floral citrus/orange blossom; layers of juicy fruits; terrific chalky acidity gives shape and length to the finish. Special. Closure: Screwcap. 12% alcohol. Drink by 2028. (Aug 2018)"
93 points James Suckling: "Super tight and flinty aromas with a burst of lime and pithy grapefruit and plenty of spicy spark. The palate is taut and succulent, showing slightly chalky texture and lime, apple and green-pear flavors, delivered with power through the finish. Prominent acidity. Drink now, but better as a 5 to 6-year-old wine. (6/27/19)"
93 points Wine & Spirits: "The Penfolds team developed this wine as a potential white sibling to Grange, but chose Yattarna Chardonnay for that role instead. Bin 51 is a ripe style of Eden riesling, yielding layers of flavor in 2018 that run from deep tones of yellow plum skin and peach close to the pit up to high notes of tangerine. Rich enough to completely clothe its acidity, this is a complex wine with some cereal notes and walnut-skin savor in the end. The fruit makes it accessible now while the structure suggests it will benefit from aging for eight to ten years. (Feb 2019)"
92 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "[$40 list] Classic lime sherbet notes mark the nose of the 2018 Riesling Bin 51. It's leafy and fresh, then folds in hints of riper fruit on the palate, such as peach and pear. Crushed stone and wet moss give it a firm grounding in the earth as well. Crisp, lean and long, it shimmers with positive sunshine and energy, vibrant and lingering on the finish. Drink: 2019-2030. (Oct 2018)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "[$40 list] The light gold colored 2018 Riesling Bin 51 is another high-quality white that has both freshness and richness. Honeyed lime, orange blossom, and wet stone-like notes all give way to a medium-bodied Riesling that has plenty of heft and richness in its fruit that’s balanced beautifully by its racy acidity. Clean, crisp, and dry on the finish, it’s going to sing on the dinner table and should have a long life as well.Drink: 2018-2033. (12/18/33)"
