Thursday, September 28, 2023 - Four decades of Penfolds Grange (Chicago, IL): This drank very similarly to the fantastic 1990. The fruit isn't as intense and dark as the younger wine; it is more red-fruit and acid driven, but the potent aromatics and more importantly, the silky texture are both present. Perhaps a little less Parker-forward, and again this comes across more old-school elegant than the more rambunctious 1990. Both, however, were stunning examples of Grange.
