Deep colour. Intense inky dark chocolate, cranberry, blackberry fruits, paneforte, aromas with vanilla roasted chestnut, savoury oak notes. Densely concentrated and ample with generous deep-set blackberry dark chocolate dark cherry sweet fruit notes, fine perfectly ripe yet vigorous and plentiful graphite tannins, vanilla mocha, marzipan, roasted chestnut oak complexity and meaty paneforte negroni-like nuances. Finishes minerally and flavourful with a long supple textural plume. A brilliant follow-up to the classic 2012 vintage. An outlasting and transcendent wine of lovely proportion, density and mineral length. 20 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. 2027 - 2050+

96% shiraz, 4% cabernet sauvignon from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Magill Estate, matured for 20 months in new American hogsheads. Gloriously, splendiferously complex. There are so many layers of flavour it''s labyrinthine, yet you never lose the thread, the path, of the wine. Austerity is not a term often used with Grange, but it''s here, and to the benefit of the wine.
