Description

Draped in an inky, profound shade of purple-black, the 2013 Grange boasts a deeply aromatic bouquet reminiscent of crème de cassis, sun-ripened black plums, and the essence of a freshly baked blueberry pie, all intertwined with the enchanting allure of licorice. These captivating scents are elegantly accompanied by nuances of baker's chocolate, hints of smoky bacon, and the alluring aroma of fragrant earth. Further enchantment arises with exotic spice notes, offering wafts of cumin seed, cardamom, fenugreek, and star anise.

As this Grange unfolds within the medium to full-bodied realm, it does so with remarkable grace and depth, revealing an astonishing array of ripe black fruit, an exquisite symphony of spices, a savory dance of meat-inspired flavors, and an earthy resonance that captivates the senses. All of this is held together by a rock-solid structure that serves as the unwavering foundation of this truly extraordinary creation.

Penfold's latest Grange release not only encapsulates the hallmark power, opulent fruit, and the inviting embrace of toasty oak for which Australia's most renowned wine is celebrated, but it also possesses an enchanting allure that is evident even in its youthful stage. Autumnal nuances of dried leaves, blossoms, resinous sap, and dark berries weave a captivating tapestry, enriched by savory notes of raw meat and miso.

Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, subtle brightening at the edges. Delicately nutty underpinnings with a note of chocolate, black berries, fine vanilla, a hint of Perigord truffles and noble wood, balsamic spices, a highly seductive bouquet. Dense and complex, with ripe heart cherries and cassis, rounded and supportive tannins, an extract-sweet finish, excellent freshness and harmony, already very approachable, a touch of nougat in the aftertaste, a superb companion for meals, from 2020 to 2070.

Penfold's latest Grange release delivers all of the power, rich fruit and toasty oak Australia's most famous wine is noted for. It is incredibly beguiling though, even in its infancy. Autumnal notes of dried leaves, flowers, sap and dark berries abound, with a raw meat and miso savoriness. The power on the palate is balanced by ultrafine tannins and a finesse that makes this drinkable now with plenty of time in decanter and paired alongside roast lamb, beef, or something equally hearty. Still, it'd be a shame not to cellar for at least the next five years. Revisit in 7, 15, or 30 years.
