The verdict on Penfolds Grange 2015
Nick Ryan at The Australia's verdict: "Put simply, this is a very good Grange. It’s the product of a strong 2015 vintage, a season that leaves its signature in the wine’s bass notes."
Penfolds chief winemaker Peter Gago added: “This is an old-school Grange.
“Not old-school like the imposing, tannic wines from vintages like 75 or the 83, but still a wine built on the darker, broodier characters delivered by a great vintage like 2015. It’s Christian Bale’s Batman, not Adam West’s.”
