PENFOLDS Grange Shiraz 2009 | South Australia | 1 BOTTLE | AU$700-800 | AUD $ 480 |
Robert Parker Score: 97 points
Reviewer: Lisa Perrotti-Brown — 21127 Feb 2014
Drink 2018–2035
The 2009 Grange Shiraz is a comprised of 84% Barossa, 8% McLaren, and a little Clare Valley and a little Magill fruit with a small 2% of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. At this youthful stage, this deep garnet-purple colored wine puts forward a vivid expression of blackberry preserve aromas amid underlying cassis, black cherry, spice box, char-grilled meat and chocolate box notes. Surprisingly medium to full-bodied (it smells much fuller!) with taut flavors that are very closed in the mouth, it has firm, chewy tannins to structure through the long and earthy finish. 406 cases imported to the US. Drink it 2018 to 2035+.

Penfolds Rewards of Patience ★★★☆☆
Penfolds — The Rewards of Patience, Ninth Edition
Drink: Drink now 2055
Deep crimson. Intense dark plum, blackberry pastille, star anise liquorice aromas with praline notes. Well- concentrated dark chocolate, praline, blackberry flavours, firm cedar/leafy textures and some crème brûlée notes. Finishes chocolaty and minerally. This has developed more quickly than expected with the fruit well-integrated into the sturdy, slightly sappy firm structure. "Already composed and at such a different stage in its evolution than the much more youthful 2008. Such concentration! So rich, tasty and so long! Glorious." (JR) 14.5% alc 98% Shiraz, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Magill Estate (Adelaide)
