Penfolds Grange Shiraz 2006
This impressively constructed shiraz has a briary, confiture and pastille-like bouquet whose aromas of blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries and plums are handsomely cloaked in mocha/chocolate oak, backed by earthy, suede leather notes and reveal nuances of prune, cola and currant. Enlivened by a fresh acidity and underpinned by finely astringent, powdery tannins, it reveals a moderate but not great length of bright, concentrated dark fruit that dries out towards a faintly raisiny, currant-like finish of soy and black tea.
