Penfolds Grange, Shiraz--Vintage 1996
Barossa Valley, South Australia
"This dark purple-colored wine exhibits notes of sweet plum, blackberry, and cassis intermixed with some licorice, chocolate, and espresso. It is a blend of 94 Shiraz and 6 Cabernet Sauvignon that tips the scales at 14+ alcohol. The wine is layered, unctuously textured, full-bodied with tremendous intensity, moderately high tannin, and a 40-second finish. The wine needs a good 4-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025. This Grange should ultimately merit a higher score when it is closer to its plateau of drinkability." Robert Parker, #E2002 (Feb 2002)
