About as big of a personality as one could imagine and yet, Grange remains true to itself. The 2001 is still quite youthful; imbued with enormous power. Concentrated, ripe blue and black fruits with some mushrooms, earth, purple flowers, black pepper and delicious baked goods. It’s great now but could use another decade+ to fully mature and from there, who knows? 2051 seems easily attainable.

An absolute monster of a wine. Hits you with waves and waves of layered flavors and with an incredibly regal texture and mouthfeel. It’s hard to believe this wine is 20 years old. An original 3 hour decant did not suffice, but an additional 2 did the trick, subsiding an initial whiff of VA to reveal blackberry pie, Christmas spice, kirsch cherry liquor and hints of mocha. There is superb depth and concentration that leads to a long and palate caressing finish. A well stored bottle of this wine is no where near full maturity. Majestic is the word for this.

Oh my. Perfect. Great wine at the right time. Fruit is there but dark and balanced with the earthy foundation. Lasts forever. Bouquet is magnificent. A little sweeter than the taste, which also balances well. Just a magnificent wine. Memo to self: wait at least 15 years for a good Syrah. 19 yrs here is perfect!

A big mouthful of wine. Lavishly oaked with plenty of structure. Fruit is showing some maturity. Not sure if this will ever knit. I would give it a splash decant and fire away. Yummy!

Really showing well. It needed 4 hours open to start being showy but once it started to get going it really took off.

I am baffled by this wine. Really, what a magnificent, brilliant, superlative wine. I cannot recall a single wine that gave me such an intensity, a clap in my face like this Grange. Here, Australia shows that you can be super ripe yet succulent and balanced. A true masterpiece. I am in love.

Syrah at its peak! Peppery at first, it builds really well in the glass. The nose is precise and opulent. Roasted figs and spices are present as well. This definitely needs more time. I love the elegance in Grange, I think this is what make it special compared to other great Shiraz of Australia. Not the terroir driven style of Hill of Grace but really well crafted indeed. Give it 10 years to enjoy with softer tannins
