Robert Parker Score: 90 points
Reviewer: Robert M. Parker, Jr. — 10031 Aug 1995
Drink 2002–2002
Production: 3,530 cases Blend: 94% Shiraz/6% Cabernet Sauvignon
Of the oldest vintages, the 1967 possessed the richest, sweetest, most seductive fruit. The nose offered up intensely fragrant, candied, sweet berry/cedar/spicy aromas. Opulently-textured, with gobs of red and black fruits, low acidity, and no tannin, this fully mature, richly fruity, medium to full-bodied Grange Hermitage is a less muscular example of the early years.
Note: The production figures shown are for twelve bottle cases unless otherwise noted.
