Penfolds Grange--Vintage 1973
South Australia
Levels: upper shoulder; wrinkled labels, slightly depressed corks
"A blend of 95 Shiraz and 5 Cabernet Sauvignon, this was considered "a good wine from an undistinguished vintage." It certainly was outstanding in June in Adelaide, showing a terrific nose of blackberry jam intermixed with sweet earth, plum, brown sugar, and tobacco. Full-bodied, deep, rich, and fully mature, this layered, concentrated, very fresh wine even exhibited some espresso-infused chocolate in the finish. It should drink well for another 5-7 years."
