Item Description
2002 Penfolds Grange Shiraz Magnum
Penfolds remarkable winemaking philosophy ensures each vintage of Penfolds Grange has its own vintage character, which continually evolves and surprises. The 2002 is at the other end of the Grange spectral offer to its previous vintage, purely as a result of two very different climatic vintages.100% new oak is completely absorbed, meshed with ripe tannins, completing a palate of impressive length and youthfulness. "The palate is expansive, and yet finessed, balanced, highly defined, sleek. A complete wine, this has been worth the wait!" -Penfolds Chief Winemaker Peter Gago
Winemaker comments by Peter Gago. As a five year old at the time of tasting, and just before its annual release, the wine is deep, dark and impenetrable. Immediately Grange, the aromatics just happen to be compatible with that of Shiraz. The aromas transform and complex across many planes, with air and over time in the glass. At first, a rich mix of dark chocolate infused with coffee bean and black liquorice, then scents of tar, aniseed, raw (pure) soy and black olive. Is it oak, or a hybrid, barrel ferment character that can be captured as it oscillates in and out of this beguiling aromatic offering? Dark berried flavours and textural sensations accessible, as yet hidden, untapped flavour and structure.
