Penfolds Grange, Shiraz--Vintage 1997
Barossa Valley, South Australia
In two six-bottle original wooden cases
"The 1997 Grange (a blend of 96 Shiraz and 4 Cabernet Sauvignon) looks to be a classic Grange, although slightly softer and more forward than the backward 1996. The saturated purple-colored 1997 offers a gorgeously sweet nose of blackberry liqueur, cherries, camphor, chocolate, plums, and mocha. The wine is opulently-textured, extremely soft, layered, and seductive, with Grange's tell-tale personality well-displayed, but in a seamless, seductive style. This is a superb Grange that can hold its own against the more heralded 1996. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2022." Robert Parker, #E2002 (Feb 2002)
