Deep purple-black in color, the 2008 Grange puts forward a very complex nose packed with aromas of mulberries, layers of baking spices, cloves and cinnamon with nuances of minced meat, anise, potpourri and whiffs of dried mint and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, taut and very spicy in the mouth, it shows touches of sandalwood and Chinese five spice complementing the layers of dark fruit flavors. It is framed by firm, grainy tannins and a refreshing acid line before finishing very long with aniseed and lingering blackberry preserves notes. This is clearly a wonderfully opulent and a magic vintage for this label.

Deep saturated purple crimson. Intense, plush and inviting with superbly defined blackberry, dark chocolate aromas and vanilla/ mocha notes. An amazingly concentrated palate with deep blackberry, elderberry, liquorice, praline flavours, dense chocolaty tannins and balanced new malty/ mocha oak. A highly desirable vintage with great cellaring potential.
