Penfolds Grange Bin 95 2021 (Magnum)

On ne présente plus le Penfolds Grange Bin 95, vin australien le plus célèbre. Cette grande bouteille trouve toujours le juste équilibre entre l'intensité et la maturité de la syrah (ici shiraz) et les nuances du fût de chêne américain neuf. Certaines années, un petit pourcentage de cabernet sauvignon vient raffermir la structure du vin. Penfolds Grange Bin 95 fait partie des vins mythiques, à la richesse aromatique inoubliable.

2021 was a magnificent season in South Australia, one blessed with good yields (a change from the previous several years of low yields and drought conditions), healthy rainfall leading into the season and dry, mild conditions during ripening. Vignerons could not have hoped for better conditions. So here, the 2021 Grange is powerful, ripe, structural yet balanced, long and complex. There is a softness to the middle palate, which speaks to the mildness of the conditions, potentially positioning this as one of the best modern-era Granges. The fruit (94% Shiraz, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon) was sourced from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley. For critics of this style, my only wish to assist with clarification could be teleportation, together, into a future 30 or 40 years from now. We would drink this wine, where it would still appear fresh and yet would have settled into its finesse and grace as well. It matured for 18 months in American oak, 100% new. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.
