97 Robert Parker
The 2009 Grange Shiraz is a comprised of 84% Barossa, 8% McLaren, and a little Clare Valley and a little Magill fruit with a small 2% of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. At this youthful stage, this deep garnet-purple colored wine puts forward a vivid expression of blackberry preserve aromas amid underlying cassis, black cherry, spice box, char-grilled meat and chocolate box notes. Surprisingly medium to full-bodied (it smells much fuller!) with taut flavors that are very closed in the mouth, it has firm, chewy tannins to structure through the long and earthy finish. 406 cases imported to the US. Drink it 2018 to 2035+.

95 James Suckling
A tiny 2% Cabernet component in 2009, this is sourced from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Magill Estate and has spent 18 months in exclusively new American oak hogsheads. The depth and complexity on offer is straight up impressive, blue and black fruit aromas unwind, meaty at times, some dark green herbal notes and a cedary layer of oak lurking below. The palate has a core of essence-like flavour with plenty of oak-derived spice framed around blackberry, blood plum and cola. Tannins are smooth and even, flavours are gently glazed around the dark fruit spectrum, some blue fruits too. This is a wistful Grange that, as always, faithfully reflects the vintage.
94 Wine Spectator
Aromatically pure, with beautiful focus to the blueberry, black currant, espresso and cream character. In the mouth this sprouts prickly tannins and picks up a distinct tomato leaf note that sends the wine in a different direction. This has depth, length and plenty of ripeness without excess weight, but lacks the complete harmony of the best vintages. Best from 2016 through 2030. 406 cases imported

Produttore
Penfolds
Dalla rinascita del vino australiano agli inizi degli anni '50, Penfolds si è distinta subito per il suo spirito pionieristico. Nel 1948, Max Schubert divenne il vinificatore capo di questa tenuta di quasi due secoli e iniziò il proprio percorso per creare vini ispirati allo stile bordolese. Situati nel sud dell'Australia, i vigneti principali sono distribuiti tra le migliori regioni viticole: Adelaide, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Limestone Coast e McLaren Vale. La tenuta produce il vino più rappresentativo d'Australia, il Grange, che costituisce il fulcro della sua produzione e conferma la grandezza dell’azienda da oltre cinquant'anni. Assemblato principalmente con Syrah di Barossa e McLaren Vale, con una piccola parte di Cabernet, Grange è invecchiato in rovere americano e il risultato finale è un vino completo e potente, con una forte vocazione all'invecchiamento. Penfolds produce altri rossi importanti, tutti notevolmente complessi. I frutti provengono da vigneti selezionati e nei vini traspare questa origine.
