19 Rene Gabriel
: 100 % Shiraz. Extrem dunkel in der Mitte, mit fast schwarzen Reflexen, deutliche lila Verfärbung am Rand. Warmes, ausladendes Bouquet, wohlig ausströmend, viel Pflaumen und Cassis, die Süsse wechselt sich nach ein par Minuten mit einer dunklen Würze ab, milchiger Ansatz, was ihm eine nasale Fülle verleiht. Im Gaumen cremig, zwischen rot- und blaubeerigen Nuancen tanzend, eine tolle Fülle und weiche, aber fette Tannine zeigend. Ein Mund voll Grange mit einem Finale von Küchenkräutern, Backpflaumen Zimt und Black Currant. Selten war ein Grange so burgundisch! Und selten war ein Grange vom ersten Moment an so hemmungslos ready! 19/20 trinken

2011 was of course a difficult, uncharacteristically rainy vintage in South Australia and particularly Barossa, but thanks to Penfolds’ privileged position with access to some of the region’s best fruit, they have nonetheless been able to blend an impressive Grange. Still sourced mainly from Barossa Valley, there’s a good dollop of McLaren Vale fruit (21%) – a region less affected by the rains in 2011 - contributing to this vintage. Interestingly, it is the 6th vintage ever to consist of 100% Shiraz, mainly because the Cabernet Sauvignon didn't make the grade this year. (Note that no Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon was produced in 2011.) Deep purple colored, in typical fashion the nose of the 2011 Grange is still closed at this youthful stage with broody tar and pepper laced notes over a core of blackberries, black plums, licorice and loam. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is taut and muscular with pepper and baking spice flavors supported by firm, grainy tannins. The finish has great length, contributing a refreshing lift.

Offers a mouthful of dense tannins at the core, balanced by lovely, ripe and powerful blueberry and cherry flavors and details of cigar, pepper, toast and mineral. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

A well-executed Grange in what must have been a stressful vintage, this has some good richness and concentration, the oak sits cedary but fruit is up to the task, dark berries in all shapes and sizes here, cola and sarsaparilla too, redder nuances, vanillin and liquorice. The palate's built in layers, really deep-set concentrated powerful fruit with some measure, good balance and depth, stylishly tailored structure and a polite, measured finish. Not a blockbuster in Grange terms, but this is a very good wine with clear Penfolds DNA. Balanced, not forced, Mr. Gago defintely gets an A for effort here. Best after 2023.

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.
