Score 87/100 · Drink 2002, Robert Parker, Feb 2002
A blend of 95% Shiraz and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 1969 Grange emerged from the year Max Schubert considered "difficult." Notes of earth, plum, mushrooms, and roasted vegetables emerge from a wine with considerable amber at the edge. It is austere, dry, with medium body, some notes of coffee and molasses, but fading fruit. Drink it up. Imported by Southcorp Wines North America, Monterey, CA; tel. (408) 655-4848.
