Penfolds Grange 1982 (5 BT)

Penfolds Grange 1982

South Australia

u. 3bn, 2vts, 2 slightly scuffed labels, 1 stained and partially torn on right edge, 1 slightly sunken cork

94% Shiraz, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. This was fleshy and accessible from its youth and now has a meaty, earthy nose and soft, easy elegance. Maybe a bit like the 1962? In 2008, it has always had this "Burgundian" wet earth, rich nose that attracts. So immensely seductive - but seize it now. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
