This is classic, inimitable, perfect Grange. With its deep saturated colour, intensely fresh berry/ mocha/ roasted chestnut aromas, rich velvety palimpsest of flavours and wonderful vinosity, it evokes Max Schubert's "buoyant and ethereal" vision splendid. This is great lasting legend-making Grange; a beautifully aromatic & voluminous wine with superb fruit complexity, balance of weight, substance & texture. Seductive, elemental & expressive, it will develop & improve beautifully over the forthcoming decades.

This precision engineering through the finish marks its intense quality. It tastes of blackberry and aniseed, nutmeg and smoky vanilla. It''s quite delicious, and yet there''s no question that it''s powerfully wrought. It''s not a particularly heralded vintage, in general terms, but the way this release presents in the glass is, to me, what Grange is all about. Impeccable winemaking, pure fruit, clasps of uncompromising tannin, smokin'' barrels, and thrust.
