Grange--Vintage 1998
South Australia. Penfolds
Tasting note: Deep crimson. A spectacular Grange showing extraordinary perfume, luxuriant fruit power and richness. Perfectly ripe, pure opulent blackberry/dark chocolate/apricot aromas with fresh cedar/spicy oak. An expansive, densely packed wine laced with roasted coffee/dark chocolate/apricot/meaty flavours and intertwined with beautifully seasoned toasty/cedar oak. Ripe, velvety smooth, mouth-filling tannins sweep and drive the fruit across the palate. The flavours seemingly last forever. So could the wine. A Vin de Garde. 97 shiraz, 3 cabernet sauvignon. Andrew Caillard, The Rewards of Patience, 6th Edition 2008
