Penfolds Grange 2002

Penfolds Grange 2002 is the flagship Australian Shiraz, blending fruit from premier South Australian sites. It is dense, age-worthy and showcases dark fruit, spice and integrated oak. A benchmark for collectors, it rewards careful cellaring and pairs well with rich, roasted meats.Tasting notes- Appearance: Deep, opaque ruby with a youthful purple edge.- Nose: Blackberry, black cherry, and plum; espresso, dark chocolate, licorice; vanilla and spice from oak.- Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated; finely grained tannins; balanced acidity; flavors echo the nose with cocoa and mocha notes; long, layered finish.- Finish: Very long and persistent; evolving spice and roasted coffee hints.- Aging: Improves with time in the bottle; also rewarding with decanting now.
