1990 Penfolds Grange

Community Tasting Note

97 Points

Saturday, October 2, 2021 - Liverpool title celebrations (London): Sentimental bottle as this was purchased in a mixed case from the Australian Wine Society with my very first pay check after university. If only I knew then what I know now - I'd have purchased a truckload!

Explosive Grange nose of sweet vanilla oak and black fruits. Structure and acidy holding everything in place still and it has silky-fine tannins. Unbelievably long length.

This really deserved more time in the decanter (we only gave it an hour on account of its age). Score is from the first glasses not the final one. Will really have to go some to have a better bottle this year.
