Description

"A very ripe, assertive, profoundly structured and traditional warm year Grange whose dark, brooding and brambly fruit and lavish oak are supported by drying, firm and chalky tannin. It’s still a bruising young wine, with a surprisingly floral and heady, jasmine-like bouquet and dense layers of blackberries, blueberries, cassis and dark plums backed by smoky, meaty, dark chocolate and cedary influences. As it opens further, nuances of treacle, aniseed and graphite slowly emerge. Firm and dense, its palate simply drips with concentrated flavour, finishing with the length and balance expected of this label."
96/100 Jeremy Oliver

"Dark crimson. Heady sweetness on the nose and then very cool on the palate - really tight and fairly tough at this stage. Dry finish. No sign of the obvious syrup and alcohol that usually characterises Grange for me at all! Very introvert at this stage. Presumably quite a deliberate attempt to counteract this vintage's reputation for extreme heat and alcohol.... Very, very well integrated oak...wonderfully rich, flattering fruit caresses the front palate and then the tarry notes bite on the finish.... Maybe the tannins are a little drying on the finish, and the vintage's reputation is unlikely to make this one of the saleroom classics, but it's difficult to see how a better Grange could have been made in 2003."
18/20 Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine
