Penfold Grange 2005 Shiraz

Description

COLOUR Deep, dark garnet.
NOSE At once Grange - a tightly wrapped projection
from the glass of dark-berried Barossa fruits
coupled with a myriad of barrel ferment
complexities. Thereafter, a burst of honey-cured
jamon / pancetta aromatically thrust above, with
a rich mix of generously basted roasted meats,
peat & nutmeg anchored beneath.
Upon sitting / air these characters descend,
revealing beguiling elements of freshly turned
volcanic earth and an innocent suggestion of oldgrowth
forest floor underlay.
PALATE The flavour pool primarily highlights Satsuma
plum conserve alongside rhubarb / aniseed /
fennel, with liqueur chocolate shyly awaiting
mid-palate. Oak absorbed and hidden, not so the
muscular tannins, power / extract. Nevertheless
balanced, firm, polished.
