A blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, this was considered to be "an uncharacteristically soft, fruity Grange." Everyone at the tasting agreed with those comments. This wine shows a syrupy creme de cassis, earthy note, some pepper, and caramel. It is somewhat soft and accessible for such a relatively young Grange, but there is plenty of structure and tannin in the finish. It is certainly perfumed and more evolved than some of its siblings that are actually older, chronologically speaking. This wine has sweet, full-bodied, plum, cherry, and cassis flavors, with some distinct truffle and asphalt notes. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2016.
Blend: 94%Shiraz, 6%Cabernet Sauvignon.
Still monolithic, this opaque purple-colored wine possesses an earthy, cassis-scented nose that has not begun to reveal any complexity or nuances. Full bodied, with high tannin, this closed, thick, unctuous, typical Grange will reward those with patience. Give it 5-6 more years of cellaring.
Production: 10,200 six bottle cases.
