Description:

Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1982
Southern Australia
u: very top shoulder or better, light bin soil

"The 1982 is another superb example of that. One of the jammiest, most precocious Granges when it was released, it has never gone through a closed stage and continues to drink beautifully. A full-bodied, opulent Grange, it reveals an inky/purple color to the rim as well as a beautiful nose of crushed blueberries, blackberries, smoke, toast, roasted herbs, and road tar. This dense, plush, expansive, seamless, seductive 1982 has not changed much since I had it nearly a decade ago." R. Parker, 97 pts. 06/09
3 bottles
Estimate $750-1,100
