A traditional Grange, if ever there was one. Quite a dark maroon hue. Chocolate, florals, violets, spices, blackfruits, vanillin notes. Walnuts, graphite, bacon scrapings and more. An alluring and rather beautiful nose. There is balance at every stage and complexity is already evident. Ripe, open and with immense length, it does give the impression of a wine that will be more comfortable in three to four years and then drink impressively for the next 30 or 40.

An impressive Grange statement with aromas contrasting perfumed spice, earth, sage and vanillin oak with a deep concentration of fruit. Reflects the warmer vintage conditions with power and richness, but it’s not a galumphing statement. Far from it. There’s a surprising fineness, lifted and free flowing engulfed in a world of flavours from spice, licorice, chocolate and creamy mocha vanillin oak to black fruits, blueberries and plum – layer upon layer – fed by polished oak tannins. The role of just what three per cent of Cabernet Sauvignon brings to the 2019 Grange can be debated, but in warmer years there has to be some benefit in the form of Cabernet tannin structure. 19 months maturation in 100% new American oak hogsheads.
