Description

Here is an opportunity to purchase an unusually Tax/Duty paid bottle of arguably the finest of Australian wine with perhaps one of the finest vintages yet, & with a whopping 98+ points from Robert Parker Jnr

In Robert Parker Jnr's words:
"It is always a treat to taste Australia's most famous wine, Penfolds' Grange. The 2001 Grange is one of the few vintages of this cuvee to be composed of 100% Shiraz (the others being 1951, 1952, 1963, 1999, and 2000). Aged 17 months in 100% American oak, and tipping the scales at 14.5% alcohol, the 2001 is undeniably one of the top examples of this wine. At this stage, it appears to eclipse the 1998 and 1996. Inky/blue/purple to the rim, with a stunning perfume of blueberries, blackberries, chocolate, graphite, and earth, it boasts good acidity, huge tannins, magnificent concentration, and a multilayered, textured mouthfeel. It is a big, but impeccably well-balanced Shiraz that should shed some of its structure and tannin over the next 4-5 years, and be at its best between 2010-2030+.”
Robert Parker – 98+ points

And James Halliday, the Australian wine guru said in April 2006:
"It is extraordinary how this wine has gained power, weight and complexity since first bottled; now majestic black fruits, licorice and chocolate/mocha notes run through the palate. Great tannins sustain and support the back palate and finish. Please move to screwcaps; this wine would live forever."
- AWC, James Halliday Issue: Apr 2006 96pts (Australian Wine Advocate)(Drink until 2050)
