Penfolds Grange Shiraz 2013

The 2013 "Grange", made from 96% Shiraz and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, looks young. It is hard to believe that it is already ten years old, because the fruit and the wood seem as if they have only just come together. It is a wine that offers all its beguiling power, fruit, smoky oak and dense perfume with full force.The 2013 "Grange" is reminiscent of blackberry jam, cherry coke, crème de cassis, pipe tobacco with vanilla, five spices and smoked meat.The palate offers a depth and grace in which you can completely lose yourself.All the flavours, the firm, powerful tannin and the brilliant acidity lead to an experience that Lisa Perrotti-Brown describes in her 100-point rating for Robert Parker as follows: "Epically long finish, culminating in that ultimate Grange experience.Oh Yeah!"
