Penfolds Grange displays fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and textured Shiraz grapes in combination with new American oak. The fastidious and passionate winecraft leads to a unique Australian style, recognised as a consistent peer of the world's greate wines. Notes of earth, plum, mushrooms, and roasted vegetables emerge from the wine. Slightly Shiraz spicey, a medium body, some notes of coffee and molasses, a smoky, oaky bouquet with candied fruits, sweet leather and chracters of ripe berries. Winemaker comments by Max Schubert: Medium brick red. Overdeveloped, nutty/ leathery fruit with touches of game. Slightly bitter and fading, with developed, nutty, leather/briar fruit, drying tannins and moderate length.
