1982 Penfolds Grange Bin 95

I drank this coveted bottle the other night in Bangkok, just before holding the first edition there of Great Wines of Italy back in December. There was such density and balance to this monumental shiraz with an oily chocolate and dried fruit character. It was full-bodied with broad length and ravishing beauty. Liquorice and aniseed came through on the aftertaste along with chocolate. A vintage of Grange to remember for many years to come! 97 points
