dark red with brick hue. intense in nose: ripe dark fruits, mixed spices, vanilla and cedar. many tertiary flavours, leather, smoke and earth, with a concentrated fruity core. all integrated, well polished, fine grained tannins, generally supple but still a little firm. dark herbal and espresso in finish, lingering long. and just started stepping down from its peak.

Balanced. I've seen many reviews that highlight the warm vintage, and this is definitely evident but the wine is not 'cooked'. The fruit profile is very good, and the balance is excellent. The quality of the fruit and the winemaking is so evident. I'm not convinced it is worth the price premium - and wouldn't buy more Grange now, but it is a very good wine. There is no sign of ageing - so another 20 years? I am not a Grange expert so don't listen to me. I have 1 more bottle - perhaps in 10 years?

Johna thought this bottle was cooked, but Roache and I thought it had great notes of chocolate, vanilla and baking spices
