PENFOLDS GRANGE 2009
Super bottle as seen in the images, with a nice fill level, clean label and tight capsule.
The 2009 Grange Shiraz is a comprised of 84% Barossa, 8% McLaren, and a little Clare Valley and a little Magill fruit with a small 2% of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. At this youthful stage, this deep garnet-purple colored wine puts forward a vivid expression of blackberry preserve aromas amid underlying cassis, black cherry, spice box, char-grilled meat and chocolate box notes. Surprisingly medium to full-bodied (it smells much fuller!) with taut flavors that are very closed in the mouth, it has firm, chewy tannins to structure through the long and earthy finish. Drink it 2018 to 2035+.

The nose suggests that this will be a blockbuster with bags of complexity - incense, raisins, molasses, dark fruit. Very expressive. The 'energy' that this wine has hits you immediately, as do the layers of fruit - dark cherries, plums, raisins, all supported by silky, integrated tannins. Although this is a big wine, it is so well-made that it glides across the palate rather than stumbles. This is layered, complex, light of touch yet powerful and it will last for a long time. Whilst not as concentrated and powerful as the 2008, this is, in its own way, every bit as enjoyable. Superb.
