Penfolds
Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then a series of stand-out wines both white and red have been released under the Penfolds masthead. Peter Gago Penfolds Chief Winemaker and only the 4th custodian of Grange relishes the opportunity to bring Penfolds to the world stage and is an enthusiastic ambassador and natural educator. Penfolds came to the attention of the US market when 1990 Grange was Wine Spectator’s ‘Wine of the Year’. Since then Penfolds Grange has become one of the most collectable wines of the world and was honored to grace the front cover once again of Wine Spectator with declarations of Grange as Australia’s Icon.
Description
Colour: Good depth of a deep redness. Bright. Nose: Alluring fruits - vibrant dark black cherry meshed with crushed fresh dark plum. All laced with warm spices - cinnamon & nutmeg. Beneath, scents of just-roasted lamb and rosemary. Aromatically, certainly a wine fighting above its weight! Let’s see if the palate delivers to this expectation… Palate: This vintage overtly leads with varietal shiraz … the cabernet weaving all together, covertly propping up its structural underpinning and grip. Contented varietal notes enhanced by an earthy vegetable and tobacco leaf imprint. Medium-bodied - structurally defined, with supportive tannins (rounded, polished) and well-disguised oak. Yes, signs off on the earlier aromatic promise.
