Description

19.5 / 20 points - Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine
99 /100 points - The Wine Advocate

'4% Cabernet (1991 had the highest proportion ever of Cabernet with 14%), 85+% Barossa Valley (lots of Kalmina and other growers' grapes), some Magill, plus a tiny bit of McLaren Vale - and, voice drops, a little bit, 4%, of Block 42 (2004 Kalmina Block 42, eg, Bin 60A - planted in the mid 1880s).'This Grange is the last of our '04 releases.' 16 months in 100% new US oak.
Very dark blackish crimson. Lots buried in there - spice and tarmacadam and the merest whiff of treacle toffee but overall amazing life and energy. Lifted and above all fresh! Wonderfully subtle and savoury and with a hint of cough medicine but wonderfully dry and thick and long on the palate. Serious first growth claret build (with which comment I presumably insult all parties...) Australia lurks in the undercurrent rather than imposes itself on the flavour of this wine. No heat at all. Extremely fine tannins. Wonderfully suave and really not like any other wine I can think of. At this stage not noticeably sweet. Gago, like all those previously in charge of making Grange, insists that he has done nothing to change the style - in which case 2004 must be a particularly sophisticated vintage. So persistent!' Jancis Robinson, MW

'The 2004 vintage was outstanding in Barossa, McLaren Vale, and Magill, the regions where the grapes were sourced for the marvelous 2004 Grange. It contains 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and was aged for 16 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it displays a superb nose of wood smoke, Asian spices, incense, game, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Medium to full-bodied, satin textured, with deeply layered, succulent blackberry, plum, and chocolate flavors, it has the structure and complexity to merit extended cellaring of a decade and more. The winery estimates a drinking curve of 2016 to 2050; I-d be a bit more conservative on the long end of the range. It will ultimately be seen as one of the great vintages of Grange.'
