Penfolds, Grange Hermitage--Vintage 1982
South Australia
Levels: three bottom neck, two top shoulder, one upper shoulder; tissue-wrapped prior to Specialist inspection
"The 1982 is another superb example of that. One of the jammiest, most precocious Granges when it was released, it has never gone through a closed stage and continues to drink beautifully. A full-bodied, opulent Grange, it reveals an inky/purple color to the rim as well as a beautiful nose of crushed blueberries, blackberries, smoke, toast, roasted herbs, and road tar. This dense, plush, expansive, seamless, seductive 1982 has not changed much since I had it nearly a decade ago." Robert Parker, Wine Advoacate #183, June 2009
