1984 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1.5L Magnum Original Wood Box

The best showing ever for this wine from my perspective, this blend of 95% Shiraz and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon is considered a relatively forward, accessible style of Grange. The color is still a dark plum/purple, and the wine shows plenty of sweet cassis, with notes of chocolate and toasty oak. The wine is opulent and luscious, with great intensity, full body, and fabulous extract. The acidity seems relatively low and integrated, and the tannins quite ripe. Drink it over the next 12-18 years. 94 Points/Drink 2002-2020 - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Vintage: 1984 Bottle Size: 1.5L Blend: 95% Syrah & 5% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Notes Barossa Valley, Magill Estate (Adelaide), McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra Ageing: Matured in new American oak hogsheads for 20 months.
