Penfolds Grange 1978 (2 BT)

Penfolds Grange 1978

South Australia

u. 1vts, 1ts, bin-marked labels with importer's slips covering part of bottom, slightly scuffed capsules, 1 slight sign of old seepage, Taiwan importer's slip at the back

90% Shiraz, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Pepperminty, leathery bouquet. Lovely spicy, minty taste. Chocolate, "Australian leather" (as opposed to Russian leather!) flavour. Very satisfying and absolutely ready. In 2008, a "fireplace" nose. Cuban tobacco. Such an exuberantly plummy taste, with a luscious kickback. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
