Cool spring with some frost followed by a hot and dry summer resulted in lower-than-average yields in all regions. Aged for 19 months in American oak hogsheads (100% new). TA 7 g\/l, pH 3.62.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVery dark purple. Heady and concentrated but too young to be very expressive. Massive! So concentrated it’s almost bursting at the seams of its attempt at a corset. There’s a certain framework that’s desperately trying to contain that exuberant fruit. It’s a marvel that they manage to make the selection but this is pretty impressive and exciting.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrink 2028 - 2050\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e19\/20\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com (July 2023)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Dark, dank and immaculate. The oak handling and tannic precision boast ample class. Beneath lurks a latent, molten beauty that will unravel eventually. I like this Grange. I feel that the decadent style, molten and fleshy, is well suited to the drought vintage and its thick grape skin tannic scour.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMercifully, the tannins are pliant and despite it all, plenty juicy.

Medium-bodied with clarity, focus and very fine tannins that are polished and caressing. One of the most refined and textural Granges I have had in a long time. The tannins are very resolved. This is mostly Barossa and McLaren Vale with some Claire Valley. 3% cabernet sauvignon. Very drinkable now, but will age beautifully\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WH","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":40584301183011,"sku":null,"price":2400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Bottle 75cl","offer_id":40584301215779,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/penfolds2018grange_8db129aa-ee4d-4eee-af38-c36f6c128fe8.png?v=1696675775"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.finewinedirect.co.uk\/collections\/the-2023-penfolds-lux-and-bin-releases-1.oembed","provider":"Fine Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
