Penfolds Grange 1998 Penfolds Grange 1998 South Australia Lot 6743: Original tissues, 3 nicked labels, 1 nicked capsule 97% Shiraz, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. Extremely deep colour. Great huge volume. Incredible nose of a Cognac! So much richness and glycerol. Will last for decades. A giant of a Grange. SS. See illustration Lot 6743 6 bts (owc) per lot: HKD 12000-18000 per lot: USD 1600-2250 This is part of Australia's national heritage and a tribute to the late Max Schubert who had the vision and ability to conceive such a wine and then construct it. Since then, Grange's winemakers have been outperforming brilliantly. I have always thought that one of Grange's many secrets is the magical mix of the Shiraz (Syrah) grape and American oak - somehow the "sweetness" of the wood marries perfectly with the peppery grape, leaving a glorious leathery richness on the palate. Anyone who has never tasted Grange owes it to his, or herself, to try it. A recent, unmatched vertical tasting of Grange in London was one of the wine event of my life. SS. Quantity: 1
