Producer's Notes:

COLOUR: As a five year-old, dense vivid red—impenetrable almost to the rim.

NOSE: Unmistakably Grange—formic, ripe, pungent, confronting. Core: darker elements—soy/cola/peat/
coal-dust/Dutch black liquorice with sesame/sea-weed/quince paste. Beneath: coffee-grind/mocha/
bitter chocolate (from oak?). Above: African spices coupled with a fleeting and appealing glacial waft.

PALATE: At once, balanced and accessible; fresh and tight. A structural and textural continuum—no
beginning or end, no gaps. Complete. In an attempt to define the palate profile... Flavours: dates,
persimmon, roasted nuts … freshly baked pecan-pie/Portuguese custard tart. Oak: omnipresent,
yet neither prominent nor ostentatious—completely assimilated. Tannins: neither obstructive nor
aggressive, yet effortlessly conveying flavours. Yes, maturation of 21 months in barrel and three
years in bottle, has moulded quite the structural and tactile Grange package.

**Please be aware that with all vintage wines, the natural corks may crumble if using a regular corkscrew. Please use proper uncorking tools such as port tongs or for wine, an AH So.  Sediment will settle in the bottle over time therefore decanting the port prior to serving will remove this deposit.**
