Description

Grange is both Penfolds and arguably Australia's most famous wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Penfolds Grange displays fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and textured shiraz grapes in combination with new American oak. The first 100% Shiraz Grange since 1963, and an excellent follow on to the "98 vintage. Sourced primarily from the Penfolds Kalimna Vineyard and other Barossa Vineyards, with proportions from McLaren Vale and Padthaway. A fitting Grange release to end the 1900's, with decades of life ahead.

The 1999 vintage in South Australia was defined by generally dry and cool weather conditions during early summer, temporarily disrupted by a hot spell in late January before moderate conditions during vintage. Multi-regional sourcing and strong vineyard management resulted in parcels of fruit being harvested with hallmark fruit richness and ripe tannins. 17 months in new American oak. Alc/Vol: 14.0% Acidity: 7.20g/L pH: 3.48.

Impenetrable deep red/purple. Blackberry and blueberry fruit interwoven with perfectly tuned, malty, savoury oak, with liquorice and anise notes hovering above. Upon sitting there is a whirling aromatic shift, the wine becoming more complex, deeper, richer and darker. Layers of fruit, with blackberry and blueberry to the fore, as suggested by the nose. An underlying tarriness and new oak are seamlessly absorbed. A mass of fine grained tannins court a firm tight finish of great length. The wine possesses the essential ingredients of the marque, richness, harmony, and balance.
Penfolds Chief Winemaker: Peter Gago.

Minneapolis Wine Club: Purple colour. Incredibly expressive and complex nose that evolved over the night. Nose shows floral, herbs with some eucalyptus, blackberry liqueur, blueberry, evolving to lose the eucalyptus, while still showing lighter herbal elements, earth emerges, sweet black fruits. The palate is deep and layered, but shows an elegance found in great wines. This is incredibly well balanced with layers of fruit balanced by velvety tannins and an fantastic 60++ second finish. 95-96/100.

95/100 James Halliday 25/04/2011.
