It has been a long, long time since I drank Penfolds, let alone Grange. The 1992 was a well made wine, with Syrah having found its integration with age. Not the most straight forward to guess in a blind taste, but the menthol, black currant and dark plum characters sat atop a wall of new oak. I concluded that this was just too young to drink and perhaps in need of further mellowing. 1993 showed more oxidation and it was indeed not the most pristine bottle and the Cabernet characters were more dominant. Palate showed a lot cleaner than the nose and the madeirisation kind of come and went. More stewed plum, dark cherry, spice and earth. Maybe could have blown off, but we drank everything a bit too quickly.
