Description

The 1997 Grange, a masterful blend of 96% Shiraz and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, emerges as a timeless classic, albeit with a touch of approachability compared to the more reserved 1996 vintage. This opulent, deep purple-hued wine beckons with an enchanting bouquet featuring luscious notes of blackberry liqueur, cherries, camphor, chocolate, plums, and mocha. Its texture is a tapestry of opulence, a harmoniously layered and irresistibly soft revelation, encapsulating the quintessential Grange character in a seamless, seductive manner. This is an exceptional Grange that proudly stands shoulder to shoulder with its highly acclaimed 1996 counterpart.

Review

A lovely sense of blueberry with the merest hint of smoke and a touch of vanilla informs the nose. The palate adds a cool, minty sheen of freshness, accentuating the ripeness of the blueberry fruit. The tannins are dense and the wine has a sleek compactness as well as a youthful elegance. Fragrant from start to finish, long and cool.
