Grange Hermitage--Vintage 1981
South Australia. Penfolds
Good labels. Levels base of neck
According to John Duval, vintage conditions resulted in a "big" tannic Grange, typically savoury and robust.
Tasting note: deep crimson: complex red earth/sous bois aromas with touches of V.A. lift. The palate is highly pixellated with marked, slightly bitter tannins and underlying cedary tones. Interesting for Grange. Its quite lean in style with more emphasis on texture than fruit. A.C.
Restrained structured palate with sweet, cedary/truffly/earthy fruit, marked tannins and underlying oak. An austere vintage which will develop further. R.O.P.
