2015 vintage. Big. Full. Needs time. Lots of time. If drinking now, give it at least a two hour decant pre-consumption. Medium bodied with plenty of grip. Plenty of cherries, oak, plum with a splash of woodlands air and an infinitesimal schwing of Hawaiian Punch. Maan, these La Granges generally need two decades to resolve/settle down/marry/divorce. — 2 years ago

Not bad! Drinkable and very pleasant. A little tinny but not terribly. Costco Bordeaux pack. — 3 years ago
Granges des peres 2007
Nez très expressif et explosif
Tapenade, café espresso, violette
La robe est dense, signe d’évolution à peine perceptible.
En bouche c’est puissant, c’est rond, il y a de la matière. Le Vin est intriguant, on veut y replonger le nez, pour voir s’il y aura de nouvelles arômes. La fraise et le cèdre font leur apparition en bouche 4:15PM. Je sens que le vin va évoluer tout au long de la soirée.
Apres quelques heures en carafe, on dénote, le coté viandeux, plus terreux, boite à cigare qui se mélange parfaitement aux autres aromes.
Je m’attendais à un profil plus bourguignon ou plus Rhône Nord comme le 2004 dégusté il y a déjà quelques années mais non je l’ai trouve un peu plus costaud qu’a mon souvenir mais c’est tout à fait excellent et extrêmement bien fait

95% Shiraz, 5% Cabernet. Considered to be one of the top 5 Granges in the 50 years between 1951 and 2001. I’ve always rated the 91 slightly higher than the 1990 which put Grange on the map in the USA when Wine Spectator made it their Wine of the Year and front page of their magazine. Nicely mature at 32 years with at least another decade or two in front of it. Black fruits of berry and cherry with mocha and dark chocolate. An absolutely smashing opulent wine which is made to go with Roast Lamb. Next one in 5 to 10 years. — a year ago
