Enjoy a bottle of 1996 Penfolds - Grange South Australian Shiraz (750ml).

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.
