Penfolds Grange--Vintage 1998
South Australia
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: The 1998 Grange will be legendary. A blend of 97 Shiraz and 3 Cabernet Sauvignon, it tips the scales at a whopping 14.5 alcohol. The inky/purple colour is followed by an extraordinarily intense nose of crème de cassis intermixed with blueberry and floral notes. As the wine sits in the glass, aromas of meat, plums, and cola also emerge. It is a seamless effort with sweet tannin, well-integrated acidity, sensational extract, and layer upon layer of blackberry and cassis fruit that stain the palate and fill the mouth. Its harmony, freshness, and remarkable length (the finish lasts nearly a minute) suggest an all-time classic. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030. Wine Advocate 148, Aug 2003.
