Penfolds Grange 2015

Marking a landmark year for Penfolds, Grange 2015 achieved a perfect score and stands as one of the most celebrated modern vintages of Australia's most famous wine.

Fresh blackberry, blackcurrant, red cherry, dark chocolate and mocha aromas mingle with herb garden and star anise notes. The palate is generous and supple, with inky dark cherry, blackberry pastille and mulberry fruit, fine graphite texture, and beautifully integrated, silken tannins that suggest decades of ageing potential ahead.
