2018 Penfolds Grange Bin 95

Family inspired flavors reminiscent of deconstructed Black Forest Cake/trifle—chocolate, custard, vibrant wild raspberry, and redcurrant. Intriguing undertones include mushroom pâté, beefy accents, and sarsaparilla notes. Fresh red and black licorice add a delightful touch. The mouthfeel is rich and harmonious, blending tannin, acidity, oak, and fruit. A generous mid-palate supports upfront grip, leading to a joyous, lingering finish. Evolving with time, this wine is truly vibrant. Further tastings can wait; ample opportunity awaits over the next half-century!
