An icon year for Grange. Deep dark colour. Powerful berry/oak combination still, with rich plum, chocolate and licorice notes coating the tongue. Must have been a brute when young. 1st class.

Sometime over the next 5 months or during this winter, try the 2020 Penfolds 389…and you will find it to be a nice drop, that is well balance, medium body with a long finish..

This wasn’t a bad bottle of wine, it just wasn’t a good one. Kind of flabby and jammy in an uninspiring Napa fashion. All warm, muddled fruit with nothing particularly interested. We decanted for about an hour. I have two more bottles. I don’t see this getting any better. Maybe it’s just not that good.

Second of two Penfolds drunk on the night alongside the also excellent 2008 Bin 620. This 53 year old beauty was relatively full bodied with a very long finish. Despite a slightly damaged cork, under the rarely seen white foil, lots of dark fruit and herb accents. Incredible bottle, only a few left, no need to rush to drink the rest as this still has many, many years left.

Yep this was one of those dry reds from somewhere sunny in the new world…with this crowd it's Australian, South Australian in fact."

1994 Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet

4/18/2024 - Ulaa Likes this wine: 85 points

It is rare I get my hands on something this old. The score is very subjective from me. 10 years ago I think I would have given this a mid 90.
The cork wasn't flawed, however it did disintegrate when opening. Most of the cork was still in the neck and I had to filter out the bits. Even with the filtering there was a LOT of sediment in this wine. The wine is very much past its best, but the fruit was hanging in there and still had distinct flavor. I desperately wanted to love this. Gamey, meaty, mushrooms, leather, all the characteristics of a great, aged, rich, red even if they were beginning to overtake the fruit flavors.

Do not hold on, pair this now with something rich and meaty, enjoy with friends and imagine what this was like 10 years ago.

From the Yalumba museum cellar and re-corked at the Penfolds clinic in 2016. An engaging nose of seaweed, cedar, mint, and leather. There’s light meatiness to the flavour profile and some chocolate and a sprig of mint. Structural elements have all but folded neatly into the wine. A lovely drink.

Inky black, and picking up some soy sauce notes that foretell the end of days but still, a fun and friendly drink to share with an old friend who remembered this wine from our days together 30 years ago.

dark red with brick hue. intense in nose: ripe dark fruits, mixed spices, vanilla and cedar. many tertiary flavours, leather, smoke and earth, with a concentrated fruity core. all integrated, well polished, fine grained tannins, generally supple but still a little firm. dark herbal and espresso in finish, lingering long. and just started stepping down from its peak.
