Penfolds Grange 1976 is a fully mature Shiraz blend from the Penfolds Magill Estate near Adelaide, South Australia. Since its first vintage in 1951, Grange has become the most collectible Australian wine on the market. Typically blended with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grange is renowned for richness, its aromatics and its extraordinary longevity. The 1976 Grange comes from a legendary vintage and is a blend of 89% Shiraz and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. "A legendary vintage, this massive, powerhouse wine is a reference point for what great Grange Hermitage is all about. The colour remains a thick, opaque ruby/garnet with no signs of amber or brown. The wine is beginning to reveal some evolution in its huge, fragrant nose of coffee, cedar, chocolate, prunes, and overripe black-cherries and currants. With massive richness and body, flavours that coat the palate in a viscous, pure, mindboggling manner, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this huge Grange Hermitage that may one day resemble in its decadent richness and thick, unctuous texture, such Bordeaux legends as the 1947 Petrus, 1947 Cheval Blanc, and 1947 Lafleur. This wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 10-15 years. A natural born legend!" Robert Parker

Blackish ruby. Thick, not lifted. Treacle toffee. Dry finish. But very luscious on the palate. Masses of pleasure! Very hedonistic. Long. Rich candied violets. (JR) — Jancis Robinson, 4th October 2024
