Penfolds Grange Shiraz 2017
Penfolds Grange Shiraz 2017
SKU: PFG17
Taste: Well balanced, fresh and with a firm structure, can feel dates and roasted nuts, with balanced tannins. The wine is aged for 18 months in new American oak. Conservation potential 2027 – 2060.
Smell: Rampant scents derived from kitchen (winery) and garden (vineyard). A wine-loving forensic sniff or two, rather than an imagined spectrophotometric analysis reveals: • Venison carpaccio with a sweet balsamic reduction and freshly-pressed olive oil. Or, uncured pastrami? • A salsa verde type-emulsion with an emphasis on the parsley and extra virgin olive oil. Add tomato, omit lemon. • Enough of the savoury – wafts of sticky rice pudding, apricot pip, vanillin pod and coconut husk. • Subtle sweet and spiced sandalwood, ground cumin and wintergreen notes remind of an eighteen-month sabbatical in oak.
