1977 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 750ml

(Clinic 2006 & slight label damage) The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia. This release in 2021 commemorates the 70th anniversary since Grange was first made. Blend: 91% Syrah & 9% Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Notes: Barossa Valley (including Kalimna Vineyard), Magill Estate (Adelaide), Modbury Vineyard (Adelaide). Vintage Notes: Fairly cool season followed by mild conditions at vintage period. Ageing: Eighteen months in new American oak hogsheads. Producer Tasting Notes COLOUR Youthful purple/red. NOSE Intense and concentrated liquorice/chocolate/ berry/truffle aromas with touches of earthiness. PALATE Powerful with rich plum/chocolate/berry/ liquorice fruit flavours, thick velvety tannin structure and excellent length. Should be a very long-lived wine.
