Grange Hermitage--Vintage 1987
South Australia. Penfolds
Four bottles have U.S back labels. Excellent appearance. Levels base of neck or better
Tasting Note: A light, elegant style of Grange made with a blend of 90 Shiraz and 10 Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has a deep ruby/purple color and a spicy, peppery nose with some new oak, black cherry, and blackberry flavors. The wine shows some dry tannin in the finish that may ultimately prove worrisome given the less-than-massive style of this vintage. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to like in this wine, which is very pure, ripe, and medium to full-bodied. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2016. eRobertParker.com#E2002 (Feb 2002)
