This consignor’s interest in wine began while he was in university in the 60s. He decided to take wine courses and started to collect on a small basis in the 80s, mainly purchasing through the LCBO and agents. He has stored his collection in a cellar in his home kept at 57F and 65-70% humidity.
The tasting note for 1996 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 is from Robert Parker and the score is 93 - This dark purple-colored wine exhibits notes of sweet plum, blackberry, and cassis intermixed with some licorice, chocolate, and espresso. It is a blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon that tips the scales at 14+% alcohol. The wine is layered, unctuously textured, full-bodied with tremendous intensity, moderately high tannin, and a 40-second finish. The wine needs a good 4-5 years of cellaring. This Grange should ultimately merit a higher score when it is closer to its plateau of drinkability.
