A blue chip collection filled with top California cult and fine Burgundy. The collector began amassing Old World wines when living in Montreal and Toronto and expanded his appreciation for California wine when living in San Francisco. Starting his cellar in the late 1990's, the majority of the wines were purchased directly from the winery or estate and were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled private cellar.
2013 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 94 points, BurgHound.com 93 points, CellarTracker 93 points, The Wine Advocate 92 points. This is the tasting note for 2013 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. Remember that old Heinz Ketchup “anticipation” ad from the 1970s? The palate of this 2013 Grange does just that. It makes you wait with so much delicious promise being drip fed into the mouth at first—and then it bursts forth and delivers!. 2014 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2014 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - with a score of 98 points. Rich, concentrated and intense, the 2014 Grange delivers exactly what we've come to expect from this Penfolds icon wine. It's full-bodied, velvety in feel and loaded with plummy fruit, framed in vanilla and cedar. Dense, powerful and tannic, it should prove to be long lived, even by Grange standards. Gago doesn't rate the vintage overall that highly, but he says the selection this year for Grange was a bit more stringent and that production levels were just average. There are still over 1,000 cases for the United States. 2015 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2015 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - with a score of 98+ points. The nose of the 2015 Grange features the wine's characteristic lifted aromas, joined by pronounced American oak influence and bold blackberry fruit, plus hints of red meat, raspberries, asphalt and vanilla. It's dense and concentrated on the palate, full-bodied yet balanced and firm, with a rich, velvety texture and long, plush finish. Don't expect great complexity at this stage—it's much too young to show much more than the primary fruit and oak elements—but this is a Grange that should easily go three or four decades. 2016 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 99 points, Falstaff Magazine 99 points, James Halliday 99 points, Vinous 98 points, James Suckling 98 points, Decanter 98 points, Wine Spectator 97 points, Wine Enthusiast 97 points. This is the tasting note for 2016 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - The 2016 Grange leads with peat moss and coffee grounds, licorice, tobacco and civet paste. The palate is intense and inky, with a sweet core of fruit and a succulent, savory and attractive fruit drive. I'd posit that while this is a beautiful, creamy, powerful wine today, 10 years is not old enough for the wine to show some of the potential elegance it is capable of. For now, it still shows oak, fruit and all elements as primal aspects of the wine. It wont, though, in another 10 years. The 2004 is testament to that. 2017 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 98 points, Falstaff Magazine 98 points, Vinous 97 points, James Halliday 97 points, The Wine Advocate 96 points, James Suckling 96 points, Decanter 96 points. This is the tasting note for 2017 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - Strongly marked—as always—by its 100% American oak elevage, the 2017 Grange backs up the cedar and vanilla notes with ample blackberry and cassis fruit. Full-bodied, ripe and almost decadently creamy in the mouth, it's loaded with substance, concentrated and rich, yet—in the context of Grange—relatively light and elegant-seeming on the finish. Only the seventh-ever Grange to be exclusively Shiraz, it originates from Barossa Valley (86%) and McLaren Vale (14%)
