Generously appointed with saturated black fruit, roasted plum, pan jus with a little melted chocolate, and with buoyancy provided by a juicy, dark cherry element. Other complexities to beguile you include, graphite, chestnut oak, licorice and a smidgen of malt. Immediately identifiable as Grange, this vintage, with its velvet tannins, is very approachable, but don't rush to drink it. Grange will always improve over time.

Deep crimson. Unmistakably Grange with lifted dark cherry blackberry, quince, praline mocha aromas and aniseed notes. Generous and inky deep with abundant dense dark cherry, blackberry fruits, plentiful fine chocolaty/ velveteen textures, lovely mid-palate volume and integrated mocha vanilla malty oak. Finishes chocolaty firm, with plentiful fruit sweetness and mineral length. Surprisingly approachable with a richness and viscosity that envelops the tannins and acidity. But don’t drink it now. Wait for a good six or seven years at the very least.
