Penfolds Grange - 1999 (750ml) David Grey and copious amounts of toasted

and copious amounts of toasted new oak

The spicy nose offers aromas of black currants

sexy style most readers would associate with Pichon Lalande

spice box and Grave-like scorched earth and barbecue notes are present in this full-bodied

but there's amazing finesse and refinement to the texture

Penfolds Grange - 1999 (750ml) David Grey and copious amounts of toastedDense ruby purple to the edge, with a bouquet of blackberries, mulberries, and floral like aromas, and medium to full body, the 1999 has an acid punch, but also tremendous layers of fruit and extract. Not massive, but elegant and nicely layered, it requires another 2 3 years of cellaring, and should last for 12 15 years. Robert Parker 92 points
