Product Description
RP97 "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."

LP97 "The 2009 Penfolds Grange included just 2% of Cabernet Sauvignon and has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It gallops out with notes of prunes, raspberry preserves, and fruit cake, followed by hints of licorice, coffee beans, and cigar boxes. The full-bodied palate delivers lots of savory and mineral layers with well-knit acidity and with a slight, not unpleasant, chewiness to the texture, finishing savory." LPB for TWI AUG 2023
