100 Robert Parker
Deep purple-black in color, the 2008 Grange puts forward a very complex nose packed with aromas of mulberries, layers of baking spices, cloves and cinnamon with nuances of minced meat, anise, potpourri and whiffs of dried mint and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, taut and very spicy in the mouth, it shows touches of sandalwood and Chinese five spice complementing the layers of dark fruit flavors. It is framed by firm, grainy tannins and a refreshing acid line before finishing very long with aniseed and lingering blackberry preserves notes. This is clearly a wonderfully opulent and a magic vintage for this label. Drink it from 2018 to 2035+.
100 Wine Spectator
An utterly majestic Shiraz, sleek and seamless, brimming with ripeness on a framework that allows for grace and expressiveness in equal measure. The intensity of fresh blueberry and plum fruit holds attention until the nuances kick in, offering glints of exotic spice, coffee, cocoa, bay leaf and mint. Shows tremendous presence without a lot of weight, the tannins noticeable but not even close to getting in the way. A great wine now, with plenty of room to grow. Drink now through 2040. HS

Penfolds
Depuis la renaissance du vin australien au début des années 1950, Penfolds s’est distingué très tôt comme étant l’un de ses grands précurseurs. Max Schubert est devenu chef de cave du domaine presque deux fois centenaire en 1948, date qui marque le début de son aventure pour créer des vins d’inspiration bordelaise. Les meilleures vignes ont pris pied sur les terroirs de premier plan que compte l’Australie méridionale : Adelaïde, la Barossa Valley, la Clare Valley, Coonawarra, la Limestone Coast et McLaren Vale. Penfolds est à l’origine de la création de Grange, cuvée icône d’Australie s’il en est une et summum de la production de la maison encore aujourd’hui, cinq décennies après sa genèse. Assemblage de syrah issue de la Barossa et de McLaren Vale, avec un peu de cabernet en renfort, Grange est élevé en chêne américain. Il en ressort un vin puissant et complet doté d’un grand potentiel de garde. Penfolds produit une poignée de grands vins rouges, tous plus complexes les uns que les autres. Les raisins proviennent de vignobles sélectionnés, ce qui garantit des vins fidèles à leur terroir.
