Opened and double decanted several hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 1997 Grange pours a deep purple color with an opaque core moving towards a ruby rim; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart black, red and some blue fruits: blackberries, raspberries, Fig Newtons, tobacco, purple flowers, cocoa, coffee, some mint and other green herbs as well as earth and baking spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is so long and there is remarkable density. I would say this is entering its early drinking window, but just barely. I find these wines need decades to shed their fat and really start to strut. Regardless, this is delicious now with a healthy decant and should drink well through 2057 without breaking a sweat. — 14 days ago

It’s Australia 🇦🇺 Day today 26th Jan and this represents the commencement of wine development in Australia
Established by Dr Christopher Penfold in 1844 the vineyard was planted with cuttings brought from England
The family home was called the Grange.
Double decanted and given time to open. At 35 yrs young this will definitely develop further.
Single Magill Estate Shiraz was first created in 1983.
Dr Penfold originally planted vines to produce tonics to treat ailments like anemia and his wife developed table wines - the family eventually listed the business on the Exchange but lost control in 1970s
Must say Penfolds have been producing good ‘medicinal’ tonics for about 180 years 🤗 — 7 days ago
