What's the word on the 2006 Penfold's Grange?

Overall, Penfold’s Grange 2006 is a must-try for any serious wine enthusiast.
A Good Year
Penfold’s Grange 2006 is considered one of the best recent vintages of this iconic wine, known for its ability to age gracefully and develop complex and nuanced flavours over time. The 2006 vintage was characterized by a warm and dry growing season, which led to perfectly ripe grapes with good concentration of flavours.
A Complex Drop
The wine is made from a blend of 85% Shiraz and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which are carefully selected from the best vineyards in South Australia. The grapes are fermented in small open fermenters and then aged for 18 months in new American oak hogsheads. The wine is bottled without filtration, which preserves its full flavour and complexity.
The resulting wine is a deep, dark purple colour with a nose of black fruits, cassis, chocolate, and spices. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with flavours of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate, complemented by notes of vanilla, coffee, and tobacco from the oak aging. The tannins are firm and well-structured, providing a long, smooth finish that lingers on the palate.
It’s Time to Drink it
Penfold’s Grange 2006 is a wine that can be cellared for many years and will continue to evolve and develop new flavours. However, it is now at its peak and should be consumed in the next few years to fully appreciate its complexity and harmony. It pairs well with hearty meat dishes, such as grilled steak or lamb, and strong cheeses.
Overall, Penfold’s Grange 2006 is a wine of exceptional quality and complexity that showcases the best of Australian winemaking. It is a must-try for any wine lover looking for a special and memorable experience.
