The grange was born in the '50's and continues to be Australia's most famous wine, typically fetching prices of $400 CAN for a single bottle of the current vintage. It's probably the only wine I (or anyone for that matter!) would compare to first growth Bordeaux.
The nose of this wine was incredibly delicate, straight out of the bottle. Raspberry jam and red plums and even a little cranberry sauce. Spicy too, but not too much. I was amazed at the concentration of the fruit! This wine was 27 years old after all...
In the mouth the wine had an unbelievable texture. It was honestly like drinking cashmere. The silkiest wine I've ever tasted, easily. Amazing elegance for a shiraz blend as well. The finish was long and very satisfying, with just a touch of tannin on the back end. Absolutely unbelievable wine, and an example to the world of how incredible Australian wine can be when done properly. I'm scoring this wine 96+ Points and I think it may be one of the best wines I have ever tasted.
