Tasting notes
Bright blackish crimson. Lots going on here – bonfires and smoulder. Dry end but it’s clearly a Grange – even if not one of the sweetest. Hermitage? (JR)

This is a more balanced Grange that shows a slightly fluid center palate with currant, spice and meat character. Medium to full body and fine tannins. A medium, fruity and juicy finish that's even Porty.
The 1991 Granges is a beauty that’s still vibrant and youthful. Offering decadent notes of smoked currants, plums, vanilla oak, and spice, it hits the palate with a thick, unctuous, full-bodied texture, a deep, opulent mid-palate, and still present, sweet tannin. This vintage was 95% Shiraz and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and is a thrilling drinking experience today, yet has another decade of prime drinking, possibly more.
5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Intense with marked cassis liqueur. A bit solid and thick and sweet. Seems a bit middle-aged. Solid and sturdy. Leathery with quite a bit of tannin. Slightly syrupy. (JR)
