Description

Penfolds Grange 1979

South Australia

1 bt - u. vts, Taiwan importer's slip slightly covering bottom edge of main label, capsule wrinkled

2 bts - u. 2vts, slightly scuffed labels with importer's slips covering the bottom, slightly scuffed capsules, 1 slightly sunken cork, 1 bottle with Taiwan importer's slip adhered on bottle neck


87% Shiraz, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. I remember a fantastic dinner with bottle after bottle of great French wines, at the end of which this wine was produced. The depth, complexity, texture and amazing aniseed/blackberry/tarry tastes just knocked us all for six. And this is not considered as a top Grange! Serena Sutcliffe, MW


3 bts (cn, sc)
