"This is a very aromatic Grange,that seems to be a product of a vintage where the wines were showing extremely well young.It is dense purple,with a sweet blackberry/cherry nose and some subtle cedar and licorice in the background,unctuously textured,thick,full,without as many nuances as some of the greatest vintages of Grange,but very concentrated and dense. Anticipated maturity: now-2017"

"The opaque purple-colored Grange exhibits an unevolved grapey nose of sweet toasty oak,ripe plums,black raspberries,and cassis.Full-bodied,with lavishly displayed oaky notes,this formidably endowed,large-scale wine should develop into an impressive example of Grange.The wine was kept open for 3 days,without any trace of oxidation.Give it 2-4 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 20 years".
Robert Parker. (Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide.Fifth Edition).
Some recent tasting notes on the Grange 1992 on CellarTracker:-
"Classic Grange nose of ripe dark raspberries,eucalyptus,and licorice.On the palate,this is medium to full-bodied with good intensity and richness.Delicious fruit flavors of ripe black raspberry and boysenberry that show a jammy side that lead to a firmly tannic finish with complex licorice notes and mineral notes.At mid-age for a Grange and should still improve off its balance of fruit and tannin".

"Clearly a young wine,which has only just entered its drinking window,but it is absolutely fabulous.I wish I owned this rather than the 1991.Drink: now-2070".

Penfold's Grange will never be cheap again,as it was in the eighties...the 1982 was selling on release in Oddbins for £20 per bottle.
A recent quote from Jancis Robinson:-
"Hill of Grace is now released at A$600 (£413 a bottle),the same price as the iconic Grange".
