1984 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 750ml

Producer tasting notes: "COLOUR Intense deep rich red. NOSE Blackcurrant and plum aromas combined with developed chocolate and caramel-like characters which are enhanced by smoky oak characters. PALATE A big, rich, and balanced wine. The palate is elegant, with cedary, chocolaty, tobacco-like flavours and supple tannins." - Penfolds

The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia. This release in 2021 commemorates the 70th anniversary since Grange was first made.
