Penfolds Grange 2020 is the flagship Australian red, a Shiraz-dominant blend with a Cabernet Sauvignon component from Penfolds’ premier sites. It delivers deep, concentrated fruit, polished oak influence, and a commanding tannic structure. Limited release and proven aging potential make it a collector’s centerpiece and a showpiece for special occasions. Decant to open up; pairs well with roasted prime rib, braised lamb, game meats, and aged cheeses.
Tasting notes
Nose: Dense black fruit (blackberry, plum, a hint of blue fruit), espresso and dark chocolate, licorice, graphite, vanilla with subtle spice.
Palate: Full-bodied and refined, firm but integrated tannins, flavors echo the nose—black fruit with chocolatey and coffee notes, toasted vanilla, and spice (clove, cinnamon). Balanced acidity and a long, linear finish with a mineral lift. Overall, a powerful yet poised Shiraz-Cabernet profile with significant aging potential.
