Penfolds is one of Australia’s oldest and most iconic wineries. Created in 1844 it is well known for producing heavy red wines. One of the first winery to have a multi-region and multi-wineries production. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, Grange is recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines.

Joe Czerwinski

The 2016 Grange includes 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and was sourced from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley, with a little bit from Magill Estate, in the suburbs of Adelaide. Aged in 100% new American oak (as always), it offers up trademark lifted aromas plus scents of vanilla, toasted coconut, cedar, raspberries and blackberries. Impressively concentrated and full-bodied, with an extraordinarily long, velvety finish, its nevertheless reasonably fresh and tight, with decades of cellaring potential if properly stored. Certainly at least on a par with such vintages as 2010 and 2012, the big question is whether it will ultimately reach triple digits.

Beautifully judged fruit intensity, and fiercely tannic – all things Grange, with its thickness, spice and density. Finishes with violet scent. Ten years premature at least. So tight! But the fruit quality is bomb-proof. (RH)
