Penfolds Grange Hermitage--Vintage 1976
South Australia
Lot 142 levels: top shoulder or better; one torn label. Lot 143 levels: six top and six upper shoulder; two signs of seepage, two lightly torn labels. Both lots original corks
"Consistently one of the most awesome wines ever made at Grange. . . I have had this wine six separate times, every time rating it between 96 and 100. It had a phenomenal showing at Penfolds' Magill estate. The color is an opaque purple, the wine massive, full-bodied, and to me, the quintessential Grange. Notes of blackberry liqueur intermixed with cassis, charcoal, new saddle leather, and underbrush resonate from the glass. Huge, thick, unctuously textured, with extraordinary concentration but perfect harmony among all of its elements, this is a prodigious Grange that is still not fully mature. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020. A legend for sure!" Robert Parker, eRobertparker only, (February 2002)
