Description

Three bottles of Clarendon Hills 1996 Vintage:-

One bottle of Shiraz 1996. (92 Points).
One bottle of Merlot 1996. (91 Points).
One bottle of Old Vine Grenache Blewitt Springs 1996.(92+ Points).

Robert Parker comments on these wines as follows:-
The red wines are crowd pleasing,exotic offerings that take the level of richness and hedonism to sensational heights.All these wines are worth trying if only because of their compelling purity,opulence and explosive richness.
The husky,dense ruby/purple-colored 1996 Shiraz reveals a knockout nose of pepper,raspberry liqueur,blackberries and spice.The wine possesses terrific fruit,full body,an unctuous texture,and a whoppingly long finish that lasts for over 30 seconds.Although soft and approachable,it will keep for a decade or more.(92 Points).

I have never tasted an Australian Merlot that was more concentrated than Penfold's Grange,a Shiraz-based wine.The 1996 Merlot offers a thick,juicy,full-bodied blast of black cherry fruit intertwined with notes of chocolate and earth.Unctuously textured and pure,not overdone,yet clearly massive,this soft,opulently styled Merlot can be drunk now or cellared for a decade. (91 Points).

The opaque blue/black colored 1996 Old Vine Grenache Blewitt Springs offers a nose of black-berry,cassis and peppery aromas.Explosively sweet black fruits hits the palate with considerable weight and unctuosity.Huge and almost too rich to drink with food,this wine might best be served at the end of the meal with well flavored cheese or simply sipped by itself.The wine is remarkably impressive and powerful,but,wow,what weight and intensity it possesses!Look for the 1996 Blewitt Springs to become more civilized with 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for 2 decades.(92+ Points).
