Penfolds Grange 2015

On the nose, an eruption of fruits. Dark coffee grind, malt and tapenade merge with black earths, almost verging on peat. On the palate, initially the 'enlivened' dark fruits of a Christmas pudding or boiled fruitcake mix demand attention. But there's much more to complement these fruits - impressions of ironstone, graphite, iodine, black ink and a black pudding viscosity.

Formidable meshed tannins, the oak has entwined itself invisible. Certainly a wine of its vintage. A Grange of 2015.
