Penfolds Grange 1982 Penfolds Grange 1982 South Australia Lot 567: u. 6bn, 3vts, 3ts, excellent appearance, color and clarity, original tissues Lot 568: u. 9vts, 3ts, excellent color and clarity, original tissues, excellent appearance Lot 569: u. 5vts, 4ts, 1 slightly marked label, otherwise good appearance, color and clarity 94% Shiraz, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. This was fleshy and accessible from its youth and now has a meaty, earthy nose and soft, easy elegance. Earthy. Maybe a bit like the 1962? In 2008, it has always had this "Burgundian" wet earth, rich nose that attracts. So immensely seductive - but seize it now. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 569 9 bts (oc) per lot: HKD 14000-20000 per lot: USD 1800-2500 This is part of Australia's national heritage and a tribute to the late Max Schubert who had the vision and ability to conceive such a wine and then construct it. Since then, Grange's winemakers have been outperforming brilliantly. I have always thought that one of Grange's many secrets is the magical mix of the Shiraz (Syrah) grape and American oak - somehow the "sweetness" of the wood marries perfectly with the peppery grape, leaving a glorious leathery richness on the palate. Anyone who has never tasted Grange owes it to his, or herself, to try it. A recent, unmatched vertical tasting of Grange in London was one of the wine event of my life.
