Friday, July 7, 2006 - Penfolds Grange Vertical Tasting (1990-1975) (Alba Restaurant, Whitecross Street, London): 94% shiraz, 6% cabernet.
A smoky, leathery, plummy, blackberry nose that would make you think it's a lot younger than 1983. Ripe and full on the palate. Remarkably young feeling. Lovely balance. I think this works really well, but give it five years for perfection.
93/100.
Re-tasted around 3-4 hours later. This has opened up quite a bit, but it's clear it will still repay further cellarage.
