Dark chocolate and ripe plum on the nose hint at the profound depth within this 2011 Penfolds Grange.

It's a wine built for contemplation, promising a rich and lasting impression for any serious collector.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Intense dark fruit notes of blackberry and plum, intertwined with hints of dark chocolate, cedar, and a touch of clove.
  • Palate: Full-bodied and opulent, with concentrated dark fruit flavours, savoury notes, and well-integrated oak.
  • Finish: Long, persistent, and remarkably smooth, with fine-grained tannins and a lingering spicy complexity.

Perfect Food Pairings

This commanding Shiraz demands equally impressive culinary companions:

  • Mains: Grilled aged steak, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or rich game stews.
  • Cheese: Aged cheddar, mature Gouda, or a robust blue cheese.
  • Social: A contemplative pour to savour after dinner, perhaps with dark chocolate truffles.
