The Penfolds Grange 2019 is a masterful blend of 97% Shiraz and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, embodying the essence of Australian viticulture. This vintage impresses with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and hints of fennel and anise. On the palate, notes of dark chocolate, cola, and nuances reminiscent of a deconstructed Black Forest gateau unfold. The tannins are present and harmoniously integrated, giving the wine remarkable structure. Its aging potential is impressive; optimal drinking maturity is expected between 2029 and 2065. This vintage reaffirms the legendary status of the Grange as one of Australia's most outstanding wines.
