A very hedonistic, almost decadent style of Grange, gorgeously opulent, almost Pomerol-like Grange with an over-ripe characteristic to the fruit. Cherry liqueur intermixed with cranberry and cassis presented in a seductive, full-bodied, very soft, forward style is truly not the classic Grange in the sense of having huge structure and massive concentration, but this wine is loaded, very corpulent, and fleshy. The wine is going to last for up to two decades, but it will be uncommonly succulent and delicious to drink young.
The 1989 is already beginning to show some attractive maturation characters and is developing a little sooner by comparison to it's more robust 1988 and 1990 counterparts. 91% Shiraz and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Kalimna and other Barossa vineyards, and the McLaren Vale. It has the typical solid structure and strength of character to age gracefully over the next decade or so, with correct cellaring, to produce another classic Grange. Extreme heat and heavy March rains followed an ideal, warm growing season. Matured in new American oak hogsheads for eighteen months. Alcohol 13.5%
TASTING NOTES
Winemaker comments by John Duval: Deep plum-red in colour with youthful crimson hues. Features an array of rich, ripe Shiraz characters with masses of ripe blackberry, raspberry, plum and spicy fruit aromas and softer mushroom and earthy hints, complemented by lifted, but integrated, vanillin American oak. A full-bodied, richly flavoured and supremely complex wine with luscious fruit and supple balanced tannins. The palate is fruit sweet, with concentrated blackberry and dark plum flavoured Shiraz fruit and a touch of spice, interwoven with rich vanillin oak flavours.
 Penfolds
Penfolds was founded by a young English doctor who migrated to one of his country's most distant colonies a century and a half ago
Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold was born in 1811, the youngest of 11 children. He studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, graduating in 1838. Like many doctors before and since, Dr Penfold had a firm belief in the medicinal value of wine. Before he left Britain he had obtained vine cuttings from the south of France and these were planted around the site of the modest stone cottage he built with his wife, Mary, at Magill on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1845. The couple called this house The Grange, after Mary's home in England. Penfolds»
