  Drank as part of.a vertical of 12. 2nd youngest, and it drank like it had been bottled yesterday. Bold, fruity, but balanced. Served with the cheese alongside a 2011 which also drank superbly.

  reductive, rubbery Syrah notes and char on the nose. Palate has peppermint blackcurrant and a polished mid palate. Tannic frame needs time to mellow. Nowhere near ready to provide drinking pleasure

  Grange Vertical with Peter Gago (Goodwood Park Hotel, Singapore): A classy Grange - one of my favourites of the last couple of decades. Along with the 2004 in the same vertical, this showed a slightly earthier, meatier nose, with something that reminded me of roasted char siew, along with its more typical aromas of blueberries and plums and cassis, all these twisted together with a hint of capsicum and eucalyptus. A more masculine nose than most other vintages, and somehow more layered and complex for that - really nice. The palate was absolutely delicious too. Still very young of course, but there was an integration, balance and an effortless elegance that escaped some of the other Granges on show. Still clearly Australian in its ripe expression of blueberries and plums and accents of red earth and eucalyptus, but with a lovely sense of clarity and poise that made it a joy to drink even though it was still very primary. It had a solid finish too, earthier again, and with a slightly hint of spice and mineral, all still couched in a little chew of dry tannins towards the end. Very good indeed, with a long, long future ahead of this. A svelte, polished Grange. This will be lovely a couple of decades down the road. Very classy.

  Masterclass with Peter Gago. A bit riper and richer compared to both 2008 and 2016. Peter’s favorite, I prefer the slightly drier vintage. 93
