Grange
2005
Penfolds Grange is arguably Australia's most famous wine and is officially
listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Grange boasts an
unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951 and clearly
demonstrates the synergy between Shiraz and the soils and
climates of South Australia.
Penfolds Grange displays fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and
textured Shiraz grapes in combination with new American oak.
The result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as
one of the most consistent of the world's great wines. The Grange
style is the original and most powerful expression of Penfolds
multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy.

Enticingly fragrant, yet at once 'Grange' - elements of cola, bay-leaf, malt, Indian spices & nougat. An ethereal oriental lift of glazed Peking
Duck is interspersed with fermented black Chinese tea. Oak at one with the wine, other aromatics unite to create a continuum of spice & fruit. Impressive.
Seamless redefined. Classic Grange structure - tight, defined & balanced, with 'slatey' / sandy tannins. Saturated fruits - blackberry and concentrated Satsuma plum skin. A darkened flavour theme of chocolate, liquorice and fermented black Chinese tea mask any overt presence of new oak, courting a long, effortless finish.
Intense, powerful vs. composed, polished - an enviable counter-balance. |
