1997 Penfolds Grange
Community Tasting Note
Tim Heaton Likes this wine:
Saturday, March 21, 2015 - Upon first opening, it was clear this was in need of serious aeration (or another 7-8 years in the cellar), so I'm glad I opened it 2 days before service, giving it a quick pour in decanter and returning to bottle after 30 minutes. Indeed, the secret chambers revealed themselves two nights later whereas upon opening, the wine seemed rather linear and vague. Medium-bodied, with some gently compelling structure and engaging perfumes. Fun to drink, but falls woefully short of its pricetag; this bottle, anyway.
Served non-blind.
