"  Steven Tanzer

revealing facets of a jewel in the rough

but it is already shaping up to be epic

cocoa and cranberry all rolling and pitching on a king tide in the mid-palate

It's very long palate

roasted chestnut and roasted walnut aromas with lovely underlying ripe blackberry and mulberry fruits

I knew nothing except what I had read in books

indeed more than I can ever remember in a young Grange

then a swift punch of minerally acidity kicks in and keeps all taut and fine

Hints of mint dance on a long finish

The 2007 Penfolds Grange is a blend of 97% shiraz and 3% cabernet sauvignon from premium vineyards in the Barossa Valley
