Paul T, Missing My Beautiful Wife 24/7

9.8

Another bottle off my bucket list.
First time tasting a Grange so nothing to compare it to, no idea how it compares to another vintage but it was definitely unique. I can’t think of anything I could compare it to. I didn’t want to lose the flavors by having food with it, just enjoyed through out the day and seeing how it developed. My rating might be high since I’m a rookie Granger.

Mint, cream and distant woodsmoke on a cold day combine on this supremely fragrant, intense and pure nose. Ripe, dark fruit has flushed completely with that cool sense of mint and the creaminess of American oak, just as the tannins have fused completely, presenting a serene, elegant flow that creates a gorgeous aromatic unity. This comes with magnetic, gravitational pull that draws you in; close your eyes and you are in Australia. A wine of immense finesse and elegance, of immense youthfulness and expression at 35 years of age. Wow! (AK)

Very nice Julienas... nice fruit and smooth tannins. I usually don’t drink gamay but this one caught my eye at a tasting and had it yesterday after an old Châteauneuf de pape. Dark fruit , blueberry...smooth tannins — 8 years ago

100% Chardonnay. This was so pretty: pear skin, white flowers, river rocks and cheese rind. Beautifully textured but softer in acidity than Burgundy. I loved this! — 9 years ago

Serious potential, if not as balanced or pretty as the 2014. Certainly more dense, inky and tannic than its predecessor. Showing vibrant sour cherry, raspberry, fresh cut purple flowers, spice cake, Asian spice and licorice. Tremendous mineral tension. Feels a bit extracted now but sure to be a winner. — 7 years ago

A really great balanced wine. I think it's a blend, actually, but the deep, dark purples would indicate a lot of Shiraz. — 10 years ago

Haven’t had a villages in a long long time but this is a wonderful way to revisit: dark, dark black fruit flavor profile with a mid palate that bites back. Sure, the finish is short but for 10&, it’s a bit feral & a no brainer. Rosenthal book. — 7 years ago

At R99 with KWV ambassador discount. This is an amazing MCC, truly one to have over and over. Lots of fruitiness and tons of flavour with the right amount of bubbles. — 8 years ago
