We have something very rare and exciting to offer today, a case of magnums of the 98+ points Penfolds Grange 2006. Now beautifully mature, this offers a rare glimpse into just how majestically this most famous of New World wines ages and will be sublime now and for the next few years.

The wine that single-handedly put Australia on the fine wine map, Grange is world famous for good reason, it is routinely exceptional. This 2006 is a wonderful mature example. Lisa Perrotti-Brown last tasted it in 2011 and found it “promises something very special in the years to come”. Thirteen years from that tasting it will now be in an outstanding place, a wow wine for those able to find and secure it.

It’s a great wine, and all the more tempting in a case of magnums like this, which are very scarce on the market.

Made from fruit coming predominantly from the Barossa Valley this year (97%) and containing 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2006 Grange has been added to my list of favorite recent vintages. Deep garnet-purple colored, it’s still a little youthfully mute, offering notes of warm cherries, black currants, anise, coffee and toast with underlying hints of soy, yeast extract, black olives and Indian spices. Tight-knit and solidly structured on the medium to full-bodied palate, the concentrated fruit is densely coiled around the firm grainy tannins and very crisp acidity at this stage, but promises something very special in the years to come. It finishes very long, complex and layered with the cedar poking through the fruit purity. Patience is required for this vintage; it should begin opening out around 2016 and drink to 2030+.
