Description:
Penfolds Grange 1998
South Australia
"Very deep garnet in color, the 1998 Penfolds Grange has shut itself away into a closed stage at this time, offering a subdued core of blackberry preserves and blackcurrant cordial with nuances of smoked bacon, black olives, sandalwood and sweaty leather. The full bodied, taut, muscular palate is firmly structured with chewy tannins and enlivening acidity, finishing long and savory. Consider drinking it 2016 to 2030+." L. Perrotti-Brown for R. Parker, 96+ pts. 05/12
2 bottles
Estimate $600-900
