December 10, 2023 - Pop and pour with sediment filtered.
Faded fruit, long finish and soft tannins. Good but past peak, with no improvement over an hour; unable to verify whether this is down to bottle (storage) or the wine itself. -

February 7, 2022 - Paired with Sassicaia 2003 & Lynch-Bages 1989, this Penfolds was more exuberant than the other 2. Still young age at 32. Plum, dark cherry. I decanted for about 2 hours. Could have been a little more. Gorgeous wine.

October 8, 2021 - This is a seriously good wine. It shows what Oz cabernet can do with the right fruit and skill. 31 years old and still plenty of life ahead. Lovely dusty developed cab nose, full on fruit on the front, well balanced through the middle and a long, long lovely finish. Absolutely no rush to drink this wine if you are lucky enough to have any left. I bought a dozen on release and still have several to enjoy over the next 10 years

August 22, 2021 - Wine is amazing at 31 years old and still has 10-15-years to go. Who says Grange is the Penfolds wine that ages?
