Friday, November 29, 2013 - 40th Birthday Old Vino Dinner (Era Bistro, Brisbane): We were fortunate this wine had come from the Anders Josephson collection, so it was in amazingly good condition. Looking at this wine in the glass, you'd never pick the age - the colour was still terrific, and not looking at all old. Beautiful, pure fruit on the nose, with just a touch of sweetness. The nose really draws you in to this wine. On the palate it was perfectly balanced, complex, lovely fruit and beautiful length. No-one wanted their glass to finish. You can see why Max Schubert thought this was such a super Grange. One of the best wines I've ever tasted, and still in brilliant shape.
