PENFOLD'S 'Bin 95' Shiraz Grange 2005 Bottle

Description

"Wonderfully fungal, like autumn leaf-litter. There's coffee, chocolate, liquorice, leather and lots more, with firm tannins and bright acidity. It's not the most beautiful Grange – in fact, there is more than a hint of rusticity about it – but the complexity is delicious."

"Containing just a dollop of 4.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2005 Grange is about 85%+ Barossa fruit with the remaining proportions coming from McLaren vale and Coonawarra. It was aged for 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. The nose begins a bit animal with some smoked game, mincemeat and bacon notes emerging over the freshly crushed, sun-warmed blackberries, black currant cordial, earth, black truffles, anise and allspice. Rich and full with very firm very fine tannins and very crisp acid, it gives a long finish layered with coffee, mincemeat and toast."
