"Super-ripe, sweet berry aromas-like liquid fruitcake concentrated black fruits with liquorice, cola, spice and smokiness. Rich chocolatey flavours are underpinned by a structure of muscular tannins and a firm spine of acidity. Relatively forward for Grange."

" A well-executed Grange in what must have been a stressful vintage, this has some good richness and concentration, the oak sits cedary but fruit is up to the task, dark berries in all shapes and sizes here, cola and sarsaparilla too, redder nuances, vanillin and liquorice. The palate's built in layers, really deep-set concentrated powerful fruit with some measure, good balance and depth, stylishly tailored structure and a polite, measured finish. Not a blockbuster in Grange terms, but this is a very good wine with clear Penfolds DNA. Balanced, not forced, Mr. Gago defintely gets an A for effort here."
