Penfold Grange 2004 Shiraz

Description

COLOUR Dark, deep red (at 5 years of age).
NOSE Enticingly fragrant, yet at once 'Grange' -
elements of cola, bay-leaf, malt, Indian spices &
nougat. An ethereal oriental lift of glazed Peking
Duck is interspersed with fermented black
Chinese tea. Oak at one with the wine, other
aromatics unite to create a continuum of spice &
fruit. Impressive.
PALATE Seamless redefined. Classic Grange structure -
tight, defined & balanced, with 'slatey' / sandy
tannins. Saturated fruits - blackberry and
concentrated Satsuma plum skin. A darkened
flavour theme of chocolate, liquorice and
fermented black Chinese tea mask any overt
presence of new oak, courting a long, effortless
finish.
