Penfolds Grange is arguably Australia’s most famous wine and the 2010 is considered to be the 21st centuries reference Grange, the one that all others are measured against. -

It’s describes as being deep crimson and having intense liquorice, dark plum, blackberry, praline aromas with beautifully balanced malty, mocha, spicy oak notes. The palate is richly textured, dense and powerful with generous deep-set sweet blackberry, dark plum, mulberry, inky, dark chocolate flavours, rich mocha espresso notes, fine dense graphite textures, superb mid-palate richness and underlying roasted chestnut notes.

This is one for the ages and it’ll be left, undisturbed, for another 15 years before I even consider a look! -

Grange, perhaps the eternal benchmark for Australian wine on the world stage. Ultimately there’s no questioning the history, age worthiness, and the undeniable fact that year-upon-year it’s consistently of stunning quality. But... do I want a consistent wine seemingly made to a formula to achieve an outcome? Or do I want a wine that reflects its environment and the conditions of a vintage? Personally I’m a fan of variation. I love the charm of a wine that reflects the conditions of its journey from berry to bottle and from time-to-time a sip of something world class... case in point! -

Penfolds Grange...If it’s not the best, then it’s certainly the most iconic Australian wine out there and with most believing the 2010 vintage is the best post millennium release of Grange it makes me wonder... how does it rate against the other 49 releases? If you know, let me know! 🍷🙌

Father’s Day Present 🎁 Option 1️⃣

Bin 389 is often referred to as ‘Baby Grange’, in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. 🍷

Beautiful and very good wine that lasts forever. A great present...simple...

 Father’s Day Present 🎁 Option 1️⃣ Penfolds Bin 389 Price: $75

A 1951 Penfolds Bin 1 Grange wine has sold for a record price at @ auction. It went to a Melbourne buyer for more than $103,000 – the highest price ever for a bottle of Australian wine. This wine broke the previous record of $81,000, which was set in December 2019.

So that roughly works out about $17k per glass. But don’t drink it just yet - if you bought this bottle in December last year the value would have gained a 27% increase in 7 months.

Langtons have a bit of Grange history on their website and outlined the 1952 vintage, regarded as the first commercial release, was probably sold at around 15 shillings ($1.50)

Buy Again: Yes. This has 20+ years left and would love another for the cellar. 🍷

Sometimes, just for a special occasion you buy something special. Outrageous even.

The Bin 707 is Cabernet Sauvignon version of Grange 🍇

A detonation of happiness erupts on your tongue with a tsunami 🌊 of different tastes and flavour rolls through your mouth. What the 🤬 just happened?

You gather your thoughts and start to dissect it but I can’t. I don’t want too.

This is just too good to worry about anything else. Brilliant...simple...

If your wondering why this didn’t get a A+, the reason was I know this is very young and no where near it’s peak. It is holding something back for this reason. Hence why I would love one for the cellar. .

Recommendation: Christmas in a glass 🍷

This is Christmas of times gone by. It transports you immediately back to the family table where Nanna serves her Christmas cake. The smell, the memories.

The port is thick and luscious but treads lightly in its approach. A benefit though as it allows you to drink and ultimately enjoy more.

This port has been waiting patiently for 20 years for you to enjoy and I think you should...simple...

 Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny Rating: A- Price: $80

Penfolds will be releasing the next wine superstar with the g4.

So at a powerball winning price of $3500 per bottle, What is it?

Well let’s call it the Grange of Granges. The g4 is a blend of four Grange vintages: 2016, 2008, 2004 and 2002, all in one bottle.

Penfolds Chief Winemaker Peter Gago outlines the wine will develop in the cellar until 2080. Yes that’s correct 2080. Which would make a perfect 100th birthday present for myself in 2078.

Only 2,500 bottles were produced, so I better win powerball...simple...

After only a glass of wine last night, I decided to grab something from the cellar and I don’t think the cork could have survived much longer.

Any guesses to the vintage, Bin or if it will be ‘corked’ or drinking well. Love to see your comments...simple...
