1984 Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1.5L Magnum Original Wooden Box

The best showing ever for this wine from my perspective, this blend of 95% Shiraz and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon is considered a relatively forward, accessible style of Grange. The color is still a dark plum/purple, and the wine shows plenty of sweet cassis, with notes of chocolate and toasty oak. The wine is opulent and luscious, with great intensity, full body, and fabulous extract. The acidity seems relatively low and integrated, and the tannins quite ripe. Drink it over the next 12-18 years. 94 Points/Drink 2002-2020 - Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateVintage: 1984Bottle Size: 1.5LBlend: 95% Syrah & 5% Cabernet SauvignonVintage NotesBarossa Valley, Magill Estate (Adelaide), McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, CoonawarraAgeing: Matured in new American oak hogsheads for 20 months.
