Penfolds' iconic 2003 Grange is an extraordinary composition, primarily Shiraz, enriched with a subtle 3.5% infusion of Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra. Meticulously aged for 15 months in exclusively new American oak barrels, it emerges as an opulent, opaque purple masterpiece. This wine entices the senses with a symphony of aromas, from the luxurious embrace of cedar and cigar box to the exotic allure of leather, interwoven with hints of Asian spices and the sumptuous essence of blueberry. On the palate, it unfolds in intricate layers, though it briefly hints at a longing for more depth and tenacity, offering only a moderately prolonged finish.
Prime rib or ribeye steak, slow-roasted lamb, game meats, rich stews, dark chocolate desserts, aged hard cheeses, charred or smoky flavors, and truffle-infused dishes for an exceptional dining experience.
Dark ruby garnet, violet highlights, subtle brightening on the edges. Ripe sour cherries, ripe plums, a hint of licorice, fresh orange zest.
Juicy, chocolatey, round, and harmonious, with a fresh acidity structure, ripe cherries, fine integrated tannins, which are already well integrated, already enjoyable to drink, will benefit from further bottle aging.
