  Bought by a friend in Australia in the 90scand testing ever since in his cellar in the US. Double decanted 4 hr before serving and that was just right. Big with blue fruits, tons of grip, and emerging complexity, this was a big hit at the table. Good for at least ten more years.

  Wine Bros: A Study of Syrah (Cowford Chophouse): A Grange with one of the highest levels of Cabernet in it (always some but usually low single digits, this is close to 15%). It’s a wine that really needs a lot of time and air. We opened and put it through the Lennar and double-decanted and tried to give it as much as possible before rebottling and then still poured it before the first course was served so that it had some more time. All well worth it. The wine was good and it was good from the first sip. Very classic style of Grange. Lots of eucalyptus and black fruits and maybe a bit of tea and there’s sweetness and spice and so much going on. Officially not really ready and I can’t wait to see what it is in 20 more years given how the 70’s are going but still a treat to get to try.

  The Return to the Ledbury (The Ledbury, London): Dare we say we finally found a Grange that has evolved beyond the fruit phase?
  Indeed this was it and felt like a softer, lighter vintage result which ( similar to 90s Napa) Well secondary, soft smoky, leathery almost and with soft spice . Well evolved beauty and a joy and nice to see it with low alcohol level too ( 13.5%) .96 easy

  Garnet in colour. Leather, mushrooms, touch of blackberries. Tannis still omnipresent. Medium finish. 92
