Description

Penfolds Grange 1983

South Australia

u. 5bn, 7vts, original tissues, Provenance: Sotheby's Hong Kong, January 2014, Finest and Rarest Wines


94% Shiraz, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. The most violet scented Grange. So complex and smoky. Such incredible sweetness. Leather with a touch of anise. Bliss. Monumental wine. Power of flavour, but elegance too. In 2008, roses and spices and immense projection. A great bitter Seville orange taste. So smooth. So coffee and so defined. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
