PenfoldsGrange 2002
About this product
Penfolds Grange sits firmly atop the Australian wine scene as the ultimate expression of Australian Shiraz. From humble beginnings in the early 1950's to the icon it has become today, Penfolds Grange is engrained into the wine psyche of wine lovers across the world. The vision of Max Schubert has born an Australian legend that is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. A multi-regional masterpiece that shows power, concentration and balance to showcase the very best in Australian wine. The 2002 was from a brilliant vintage. Immensely concentrated, silky textured wine with saturated blackberry, and some meaty, cedar, mocha, and spice flavours and ripe, supple, dense tannins. Finishes long and sinuous.

As hoped and expected; beautiful colour; a wonderful bouquet, with black fruits of various kinds the engine, oak in tow. Impeccable texture and balance in the mouth; again, a wonderful array of seamless blackberry, licorice and high-quality oak; destined to become recognised as one of the great Granges.
