Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazPenfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz, or Grange as it's known to most, is Australian wine royalty. The 2012 Grange is one of the best vintages to ever come under the label in recent times. The wine is unmistakably complex, flamboyant and lifted. The earthiness is well integrated with the aromas of dark fruits, grounded coffee, red liquorice and black olives, which leads to a firmly structured finish.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Deep, dark red with a tinge of brick, the bouquet tremendously oaky and rich, loaded with mocha and dark chocolate, espresso coffee and the palate is very tannic, oaky and slightly bitter. Very typical Grange, very massive and still too young to really enjoy at its best.
