Tasting notes
You know, Penfolds Grange is like the crown jewel of Australian wines. Initially crafted to showcase the high quality of Shiraz, this wine has earned a reputation that stands shoulder to shoulder with the top wines from France and Italy. Grange is particularly renowned for its outstanding quality.
In volume 22 of 'Drops of God', Nadia from Sun Beer Australia's branch mentioned this wine as an example of a high-quality Shiraz. She talked about it being on par with prestigious wines from France, Italy, and the U.S. The value of this wine reflects that high status and is traded at similarly high prices.
Pouring it into a glass, you immediately notice the deep garnet color that captures your attention. The legs clinging to the glass hint at the rich extract within. On the nose, it's a symphony of blackberries and cassis, with a subtle hint of spice weaving through. Just smelling it raises the anticipation.
On the palate, you get this lush fruit sweetness that envelops you, followed by restrained yet firm acidity. The tannins are dense, leaving a significant impression on the tongue, complemented by a well-structured body. The finish is long and lingering. I suggest decanting it and really taking your time to enjoy every nuance.
