CRITIC REVIEWS
Joe Czerwinski
The nose of the 2015 Grange features the wines characteristic lifted aromas, joined by pronounced American oak influence and bold blackberry fruit, plus hints of red meat, raspberries, asphalt and vanilla. Its dense and concentrated on the palate, full-bodied yet balanced and firm, with a rich, velvety texture and long, plush finish. Dont expect great complexity at this stage—its much too young to show much more than the primary fruit and oak elements—but this is a Grange that should easily go three or four decades.
Richard Hemming MW
98% Shiraz, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. From Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Magill Estate. Aged for 20 months in new American oak hogsheads. TA 6.7 g/l, pH 3.62. At first, its an unassuming nose. The palate has massive density and structure, almost as if the fruit has been locked down – but then on the finish, there is a lovely emergence of pure cherry and liquorice flavour with herbal, rosemary complexity and that signature oak essence adding spice. Enigmatic right now, but surely aiming for the big leagues. (RH)
