While there will only ever be one Grange, Max’s conviction that the Penfolds approach of sourcing the best fruit from the finest vineyards to marry regional and varietal character to the distinctive Penfolds style, maintaining an unwaveringly high level of quality, lives on in the impressive range of wines.

Bottles labelled Bin numbers 71, 72 and 95. "A great Grange, and certainly the best bottle I have had out of four different tastings, this large-scaled Grange showed a huge nose of cigar box, licorice, coffee, mocha, caramel, plum, and currant, and in the mouth, fabulous concentration, plenty of glycerin, wonderful freshness, and superb delineation for a wine that is 35 years of age. A very long finish of close to 40 seconds is also impressive. Pristine bottles should continue to drink well for at least another decade" -eRobertParker.com

A very great Grange vintage. "Very balanced, long-term Grange. Penetrative and focused blackberry, raspberry and cassis-like fruit. Very sumptuous, youthful and astringent, built on some high quality fruit underpinned by sweetly integrated oak" -JeremyOliver.com, "I have been fortunate to have this wine nearly a dozen times, and I have consistently rated it 96-100. Moreover, the wine is still a baby and ideally in need of another 3-5 years of cellaring. A current as well as future legend, this is a Grange to kill for" -eRobert Parker.com Feb 2002
