Penfolds Grange Shiraz 75cl
€699
1 in stock
Possibly the best Penfolds Grange ever produced and one of Max Schurbert’s favourites due to winning a gold medal at the 1962 Sydney Royal Show in the Open Claret Class. Many judges had previously been vocally critical of the style. Iconic US Magazine, Wine Spectator, even chose the wine as a ‘Wine of the Millennium’. The wine itself has a deep brick red appearance, with a nose of coffee, mocha and gamey meats with some leathery notes. The palate is still fleshy, supple and smooth with corresponding mocha and gamey flavours. Silken tannins are present with an everlasting fruit sweet length.

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

This amazing powerhouse from Ribera del Duero. Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2012 - Bodegas Alejandro Fernández. Decanting is advised 👌🍷 delicious cherry, vanilla, leather and cederbox with cigars. Milk chocolat, forrest floor, laurel. Great lenght and depth Amazing wine!

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
