Penfolds 1990 was rated an outstanding 98 points from Wine Spectator – a near perfect score! Besides this one needs no introduction as this is a leader of the Grange pack without question......
"Magnificent, exotic, a veritable cascade of opulent flavors--earthy currant, black cherry and licorice--on a grand frame of incredible length, wrapped in finely grained tannins." Wine Spectator (Jan 1997)
"…notes of blackberry, brambly black fruits, a touch of game…perhaps a scintilla of ox blood. Good definition. The palate is full-bodied and appears to have put on a touch more weight. Very well balanced with smooth tannins and “exuberant” flavours of macerated red cherries, wild strawberry and a touch of peppermint, with the Shiraz continuing to impart that Northern Rhone-like finish. Superb." eRobertParker.com (Sep 2010)
With its solid structure and strength of character it will age gracefully and should be carefully cellared for a bare minimum of 10 years, and preferably 25 to 30. Hence now the value will start to increase as the wine starts to taste as intended.
The 1990 Penfolds Grange was named 'Wine of the Year' in 1995 by the Wine Spectator, becoming the only wine outside California and France to take the award.
