1996 Penfolds Grange South Australia Shiraz Blend, Syrah
Tasting 1996 Penfolds Grange (during private dinner) (Restaurante Cuenllas - Madrid): Bottle was opened six hours before consumption. Double decanted in order to filter abundant sediments.
It took hours to open on the nose. At first wood covered everything except that elegance. The palate was silky and wide. Very long drink. Incredible aftertaste.
When finally nose appears, mouth fell at the same rate. Unbalanced in my modest opinion. Perhaps its origin was not as flawless as we presumed 'cause poor storage. Lack of harmony, we said.
However the last glass, the better.
Below my expectations.

Botella abierta seis horas antes de su consumo. Doblemente decantada para filtrarla de abundantes sedimentos.
Tardó horas en abrirse en nariz. Al principio la madera lo tapaba todo excepto la elegancia. En boca era más sedosa y amplia. De trago muy largo. Postgusto increíble.
Cuando la nariz finalmente se manifestó, la boca cayó en la misma proporción. Desequilibrada en mi modesta opinión. Quizás su origen no era tan impecable como presumíamos con un almacenaje deficiente. Dijimos que padecía de falta total de armonía.
No obstante, la última copa, la mejor.
Por debajo de mis expectativas.
