PenfoldsGrange 2001
About this product
Penfolds Grange is the pre-eminent Australian red wine of the highest quality. The vision and dedication of Max Schubert is the sole reason this wine is so deeply entrenched into the psyche of the Australian wine scene as well as being highly sought after the world around. Deep purple. Very elemental blackberry/raspberry/menthol aromas and sweet malt/savoury oak. A strikingly rich concentrated wine with deep-set musky blackberry dark chocolate fruit flavours, underlying savoury oak and ripe smooth tannins. Finishes long and sweet. An immaculately balanced wine. Bottle image is indicative only

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.

...majestic black fruits, licorice and chocolate/mocha notes run through the palate. Great tannins sustain and support the back palate and finish.
