The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine. A blend of 97% Shiraz and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 is an utterly divine release, imbued with extraordinary concentration and carry of flavour. This is undoubtedly a classic in the making, you will just have to wait 20 years to see it at its best!
98 Vinous
Deep, shimmering violet. Expansive, smoke- and spice-accented aromas of cherry liqueur, cassis, coconut and pungent flowers show excellent clarity. Stains the palate with concentrated dark fruit and violet pastille flavors that are complemented by suggestions of mocha, smoked meat and exotic spices. Distinctly generous in character, but there"s also superb energy thanks to a core of juicy acidity. Sweet dark fruit and candied violet notes drive the finish, which features steadily building tannins and shows remarkable tenacity. Josh Raynolds1st December 2021

97% Shiraz, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon blended from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Magill Estate. TA 7.3 g/l, pH 3.63. Aged for 18 months in American oak hogsheads (100% new).

Very, very dark, concentrated, blackish purple. Almost more of a decongestant than a wine. Goes straight up the nose rather than offering a complex array of different aromas. Very sweet, round and gently textured initially so that only after a while do you become aware of the massive tannins underneath – really massive! But clearly a great deal of work has been done on smoothing the tannins. Concentrated but not exaggerated. Sweet and smooth with a hint of camphor. Salt and spice, and drier than some Granges at this early stage. But such a baby!!! Though if you were really in a hurry, you could decant this into a young-wine decanter and leave it overnight. It is too strong to harm. (JR)
