Penfolds Grange 2020 Gift Box 750ml

Crafted from fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured, and structured Shiraz grapes, Grange is esteemed as one of the most consistent of the world’s premier wines. Aromas: An immediate declaration of identity—formic and barrel-ferment notes elevate Shiraz attributes. These markers, enriched with heady hints of aniseed, liquorice, wintergreen, and fennel, are underpinned by primal aromas of squashed damson plum. Beneath this complex bouquet, wafts of pan scrapings and pan juices provide a robust foundation. The 100% new oak is seamlessly integrated, contributing to the wine's complexity, intrigue, and layered character. In this aromatic interplay, the fruit remains paramount. Similar to the defining ‘Champagne character’, the ‘Grange character’ is instantly recognizable and unmistakable. Palate: The initial sip captivates, the second confirms. Foremost, red fruits and maraschino cherry flavors swiftly transition to deeper notes—Black Forest cake, blackberry, and black cherry. The palate softens, evoking a Christmas pudding mix steeped in soaked fruits and rind. Talc-like, velvety tannins provide a gentle structure, almost melding with nuances of cocoa and dark chocolate dust. Texturally, the wine is intricately woven, with all elements harmoniously integrated, creating a lush, round sensation across the palate. Oak, presenting sandalwood nuances rather than cedar, plays a supportive yet unobtrusive role. Assured and distinctive, this Grange promises to both appease and reward the discerning palate.
