"After the blunderbuss which was the 2015 vintage, we have finally arrived at another (there are a good few) slice of sheer perfection. This is such a controlled wine by comparison to its 2015 pal and over a few days and multiple tastes I made recurring flavour notes regarding the remarkable Special Bin 111A while writing about this wine. I hadn’t considered, of course, that this wine might share very similar parts, but it does! What I love about how 2016 Grange deploys its flavours is that it does it with so much grace and control for such a commanding wine. The tannins are dry and masterful, but not astringent in any way and this allows this wine to stand to attention on the palate. 2016 is an awesome vintage for Penfolds and I believe that this label is its greatest wine made in this year – as it should be. This vintage shows more intent and dynamism than I saw in the 2010 vintage, which is another of my favourites and also another of my 20/20 wines, and so there is no doubt in my mind that this vintage deserves a perfect score, too." 20+/20 (Drink 2030 – 2060)

Grape: Shiraz
A powerful mix of black fruits and oaked flavours, however, this wine is still perfectly balanced with fine tannins and uplighting freshness. Deep purple in colour with scents of black plums, aniseed, root beer and charred meats.
Pairs perfectly with red meats especially rare beef fillet.
