It's dense and concentrated on the palate, full-bodied yet balanced and firm, with a rich, velvety texture and long, plush finish. Don't expect great complexity at this stage—it's much too young to show much more than the primary fruit and oak elements—but this is a Grange that should easily go three or four decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous, January 2021 - 98P:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaturated ruby. Deeply pitched, spice-accented aromas of cassis, smoky minerals, incense and dark chocolate. Large-scaled and broad in the mouth, offering intense blackcurrant, cherry-vanilla, mocha and candied violet flavors that are supported by a core of juicy acidity. Shows superb density and vivacity as well, with no rough edges. Finishes extremely long and precise, with building tannins and resonating bitter chocolate, exotic spice and floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is one of the world's most celebrated wines and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted utilising fully ripe, intensely flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.penfolds.com\/en-au\/about-us\/the-story-of-grange.html\"\u003ePenfolds Grange\u003c\/a\u003e is a unique Australian style shiraz that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great red wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story began with a side trip to Bordeaux in 1950, where a wine ‘capable of staying alive for a minimum of twenty years’, first entered Max Schubert’s mind. He crafted his first experimental Grange Hermitage in 1951 – named after ‘Grange Cottage’, the first Australian home of our founders, Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold. This wine began a new way of thinking that would eventually lead to a signature wine style, but not before Grange was discredited by the Penfolds board, forcing Max Schubert to continue making the wine in secrecy. It wasn’t until 1960 that the board recognised the value of quality aged red wines with Grange triumphantly reinstated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe timeless appeal of Grange resides in its unwavering commitment to an unchanged style, from experimental vintages to the present. Grange is memorable for its aromatic complexity, intensely rich fruit, ripe tannins of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.penfolds.com\/en-au\/wines\/varietals\/shiraz\"\u003eshiraz\u003c\/a\u003e and nuanced American oak. Partial barrel fermentation and 18 to 20 months of oak maturation enhance these qualities, while further ageing in the bottle allows the wine to evolve, with tannins softening and complexity building. With an unbroken line of vintages since 1951, this iconic red wine demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePenfolds Grange has been awarded over 30 perfect scores from top wine critics around the world, including 100 points from both Wine Spectator and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2008 vintage and eight perfect scores for the 2018 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penfolds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50467104194826,"sku":"CEW488","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9273\/3194\/files\/PenGrange_9755c81d-1bd6-40d2-a1c1-15b0e715979a.png?v=1734523112","url":"https:\/\/carlwandel.shop\/products\/2015-penfolds-grange-bin-95","provider":"Carl Wandel \u0026 Søn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
