Penfolds "Grange" Shiraz South Australia

Shiraz/Syrah from South Australia

Vintage: 1987
Description: 90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. This bottle is showing better than the one included in the vertical line-up last year. An attractive, conservative nose of blackberry, freshly rolled tobacco, undergrowth and a touch of leather. The full-bodied palate is nicely balanced with good acidity, perhaps straight-laced and unwilling to furnish the taster with an exciting vinous experience, but maintaining cohesion and vigour. Touch of cigar box on the finish. Fine. Tasted June 2007. (NM-Wine Journal) (6/2007) 90 points Wine Spectator. Extemely spicy on the nose, with zingy berry and plum character coursing through the palate of typical Grange flavors. Chewy with tannins, but they're finely grained. (hs) (1/1997) Jancis Robinson. (Magnum) Pungent nose reminiscent of gunpowder. Sweet, salty, thick and decidedly medicinal -- in a most attractive way. Elderberry compote on the palate. Very rich and convincing. (jr) 18/20 (5/2015).
