2021 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2023

Some salted nuts, toast and flint aromas are tucked beneath concentrated lemon and melon fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with lifted acidity and some textural elements. It finishes short and a bit synthetic.

2013 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2015

Is Bin 65 back? Folks who remember what a screaming buy this was in the early 1990s will be encouraged by this bottling, which features bright tropical-fruit flavors and a weighty texture.

2011 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2014

A light, clean, fruit-cocktail style of Chardonnay at a bargain price, the 2011 Bin 65 should be largely superseded on shelves by the 2012. Melon and pineapple fruit finishes reasonably crisp, but drink up.

2008 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2009

One of the Australian Chards to start it all here in the U.S., Bin 65 remains a solid value. The 2008 features hints of movie popcorn and peaches on the nose, enough tropical fruit to provide a plump texture and a soft, friendly finish.

2006 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2007

Early vintages of this were great values, and the 2006 version is a solid effort as well, offering up aromas of smoky, grilled fruit and toasted marshmallow. It's medium-bodied, with spicy, orangey flavors that fall away quickly on the finish. Drink now.

2005 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2006

Deep gold in color, with nut, peach and overt floral aromas. Bright and tropical on the palate, with a soft, almost oily feel; shows its alcohol on the finish. Imported by Foster's Wine Estates Americas.

2003 Vintage Tasted: Feb 2004

This perennial good value shows a lot of oak this vintage. Toast, vanilla and butterscotch aromas preface buttery yellow fruit on the palate. Finishes with a hearty dose of toast and nut.

2000 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2003

(2003) Clean, bright, pure fruit. Lightly toffeed sweetness to orchard fruits. Lightly-oaked with sweet peach, toffee and tropical fruit. Good balance.

2001 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2002

Probably the wine that put Australian Chardonnay on American consumers' maps, the current vintage boasts aromas of creamery butter, tangerine and lime, with a touch of movie-theater popcorn. Soft peach and vanilla flavors finish with spicy oak.

About Wine Enthusiast

2001 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2002

(2002) Similar formula, adding a little more toast on the nose and a zestier, lemon character cutting in on the finish. Another very attractive wine of its style and unlikely to disappoint - especially at the multi-buy price.

1999 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2000

Another solid vintage for Bin 65, one of the brands that for many people is synonymous with popular-priced Aussie Chardonnay. With its round mouthfeel, sweet tropical fruit, hay and melon flavors accented by soft oak, it's no surprise why. Flavorful and affordable, and widely available.

About Wine Enthusiast

2002 Vintage

This recommendation is more a reader reminder than breaking news, because the Bin 65 has been Australia's hallmark value-priced white since 1985. But it is still a reliable, inexpensive choice as well as Australia's most-exported white wine. Bouncy yellow fruit on the palate is accented by spicy, gingery notes that seem a little grown-up for a wine of this price. Fat, ripe nectarines and peaches, plus some nutmeg and cream, waft from the nose. The 2002 Bin 45 Cab (85 points, $8) is also a great buy.

Three stars on average? You have got to be kidding me. This was listed by the wine advocate, which is probably the best wine review available, as one of the top values in white wine. In terms of total rating I would give it four stars. But in terms of total value I will give it five stars.
