...puts forward a vivid expression of blackberry preserve aromas amid underlying cassis, black cherry, spice box, char-grilled meat and chocolate box notes.... firm, chewy tannins to structure through the long and earthy finish.
...the bouquet has fragrant sweet and savoury spices, the palate with licorice and black fruits, oak riding high, but guaranteed to be relegated to second place as the wine comes into balance around '30.
The depth & complexity on offer is straight up impressive, blue & black fruit aromas unwind, meaty at times, some dark green herbal notes & a cedary layer of oak lurking... a wistful Grange that, as always, faithfully reflects the vintage.
Huge dill and vanilla aromas wrap around intense mixed-berry fruit, ending on notes of espresso and dark chocolate. It’s full bodied and richly textured... maintains the Grange standard of excellence.
Aromatically pure, with beautiful focus to the blueberry, black currant, espresso and cream character. In the mouth this sprouts prickly tannins and picks up a distinct tomato leaf note that sends the wine in a different direction.
Intense spice & mineral accented aromas of cherry pit, blackberry & plum with smoke & floral qualities adding complexity.... zesty dark fruit & violet pastille flavors & hints of licorice and vanilla. Finishes smoky, spicy and very long...
Gorgeously seductive perfume: sweetly spiced – Christmas spice - fruit with the sweetness of oak but all so well entwined. There's a hint of tar and savoury character... Chocolate all the way. Freshness and really great length.
