Penfolds Grange Shiraz 1999 750ml

Penfolds Grange, Australia's most renowned wine worldwide, has a rich history since its humble beginnings in the 1950s. Today, it is an icon of the wine industry ingrained in the minds of wine enthusiasts around the globe. Created by Max Schubert, this Australian legend is officially recognized as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. With a multi-regional blend, it boasts power, concentration, and balance, truly showcasing the best of Australian wine. As a successor to the 1998 vintage, this wine, crafted by John Duval, exhibits a brilliant concentration of blackberry and mulberry flavours, with hints of vanilla and mocha from the exquisite oak. "Only the third Grange to be made from 100% Shiraz , the 1999 Grange is superb. The colour is inky purple. The wine shows unformed but gorgeously sweet notes of blackberries intermixed with smoke, licqorice, and asphalt. This is a wine of great intensity, sweet tannin, voluptuous texture, and a spectacularly long finish. Patience will be required, as it will not be released until May 1, 2004. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025." 94/96 - Robert Parker, RobertParker.com Please note that the bottle image is for reference only.
