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.

Purple and black fruit from Waiheke Island. Displayed a degree of plushness in a mixed new world old world way. Has developed nicely - drinking well now, no risk of falling over just yet. Not as structured as the 2010 Ornellaia consumed at the same time, but was a different blend, with some minerality reflecting its island heritage.

25th anniversary wine for the Estate. Opened with blue/red fruit bouquet and was initially tightly wound. With time in the glass the aromatics opened and the wine became silken. Purity freshness and intensity framed the palate. I liked it more and more as I spent time with it. A beautiful wine.
