The pinnacle of the Penfolds red wine range, Grange is a rich, opulent, full-bodied Shiraz, produced from the best possible grapes sourced from low-yielding, old Shiraz vines. The unique and distinctive Grange style is based on ripe Shiraz fruit and stylish American oak in fine harmony (matured for 18 months in new American hogsheads). The 1994 vintage is composed of 89% Shiraz and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy now to 2030.

Proprietor of Château Séraphin, Martin Krajewski, opened two bottles of 1994 Penfolds Grange from his cellar. I must admit, I was completely entranced. Perhaps, having marinated my palate in prenatal claret over the previous week, my senses exaggerated its virtues, but I don’t think so. This was a blend of 89% Shiraz and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon with fruit sourced from Barossa (Kalimna Vineyard), McClaren Vale and Coonawarra. Lucid ruby in hue, it offers red plum, kirsch and fresh fig, touches of sandalwood and light marmalade scents. So sensual and yet beautifully delineated. The palate has a viscous texture on the entry, perfectly balanced. This is a wine that convinces upon the first sip that it has reached its apex. It’s deep and caressing, with layers of slightly confit-like red fruit with allspice and subtle tertiary and mocha notes on the finish. Every drop is savored. I am no expert on Australian wine, but the Coonawarra component seems to be the most expressive. This is, frankly, one of the best vintages of Australia’s iconic wine that I have ever tasted.

A substantial 11% of the 1994 Grange is Cabernet Sauvignon, and it`s most clearly apparent on the elegant, leafy, floral nose. On the palate, it`s more clearly Grange and Shiraz-like, with plenty of weight and richness along with flavors of dried fruit, roasted meat and mocha, but there`s also a sense that it`s starting to lighten and become approachable/mature. Drink now or hold up to another 10 years or so. - Joe Czerwinski

89% Shiraz, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. Kalimna Vineyard (Barossa Valley), Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra blend.

Very dark crimson. Tarry and much more suppressed on the nose than, say, the 1991 even though it is three years younger. Still very taut and chewily textured. Wait! (JR)
