Verkostungsnotiz

Nahezu blickdichtes Purpurrot mit schwarzem Kern und violetten Reflexen. Das vielschichtige Bouquet öffnet sich zunächst mit konzentrierten Aromen von Cassis, Brombeeren, Schwarzkirschen und dunklen Pflaumen. Mit zunehmender Belüftung treten Veilchen, Fenchelsaat, Sternanis, Lakritz, Graphit und eine feine rauchige Würze hinzu. Noten von Bitterschokolade, Espresso, Vanille und gerösteten Gewürzen spiegeln den hochwertigen Ausbau in neuer amerikanischer Eiche wider. Am Gaumen präsentiert sich der Grange 2018 monumental und zugleich erstaunlich präzise. Die dunkle Frucht besitzt enorme Dichte, ohne schwer oder süßlich zu wirken. Engmaschige, reife Tannine verleihen dem Wein eine kraftvolle Architektur, während die lebendige Säure für Spannung und Balance sorgt. Schwarze Beeren, Kakao, Mokka, Lakritz, Graphit und würzige Kräuternoten begleiten den minutenlangen, leicht rauchigen Nachhall.

Bewertungen

99 Punkte Robert Parker
Wine Advocate Jul 2022: "This wine comes with high expectations—as does the vintage. The 2018 vintage across South Australia (and cheekily, we could probably extend the accolade to all of Australia) was excellent. It was warm, but without incident, and responsible for powerfully ripe, serious wines. Many producers made some of their best wines in this vintage. So here, to the 2018 Grange: there is spiced raspberry, lashings of salted licorice, red curry paste, layers of forest berries, rendered lamb fat and crushed pink peppercorns to start. In the mouth, the tannins close around the fruit with the same polish and seamlessness as the 2008, possibly the 2004? Very different vintages, but there is a textural similarity for me. This is polished and glossy and so very pretty. It contains 3% Cabernet Sauvignon this year, and 69% Barossa, 18% McLaren Vale and the balance from Clare Valley. Each of the regions brings with it its own characteristics. Barossa brings the red dirt, blood, deli meat and rust. McLaren Vale brings the plush purple fruits with a side of meat and licorice. Clare brings the polish, the opulence and the velvet texture. With their powers combined, this is an extraordinary Grange. One of the true greats, which will only get better as it ages."

"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Zarter Mix aus Bergamotte und Vanille, Crème Brulée, rote Waldbeeren, helles Stollwerck, dunkle Kirschen, ein Hauch von Dille verrät das amerikanische Holz. Kraftvoll und komplex, feine rote Beerenfrucht, etwas Lakritze, aber auch etwas Schwarzwälder-Kirsch, reife, tragende Tannine, ungemein frisch und lebendig, verfügt über große Länge und sicheres Reifepotenzial. Eine Kombination aus Komplexität und Finesse. (2030 – 2070)"

"A robust Grange from a lauded vintage, this wields sheer power with such compelling prowess. Uncompromising Grange. There are rich blackberries and plums on offer, together with brazen oak and abundant notes of blackcurrants, black cherries, charcoal, cola and hard brown spices. So fleshy and intense. Dark-chocolate and cocoa-powder aromas and flavors here, too. The tannins are polished and long, extruding deep into the finish and holding endlessly. Dark chocolate, black cherry, dark plum and more. Impressive. Brazen. One of the great Granges that will drink magnificently for decades to come."

"With its veritable vortex of rich but dynamic blackberry and blood-plum, exotic satsuma lift, creamy praline oak and supple tannins of deep-pile velvet, this is a sumptuous wine to sink into - a bottomless pit. Hints of sarsaparilla and tar lend savoury nuance. This oozes confidence and charm. Sourced from Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and Magill Estate, it spent 17 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. "

100 Punkte Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent: "Composed of 97% Shiraz with a 3% splash of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Grange was sourced from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Clare Valley. It was aged for 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads (slightly larger than the classic Bordeaux barriques). It sports an opaque purple-black color, while the nose begins as an impenetrable wall of blueberry pie and blackberry preserves. Patience and vigorous swirling eventually unlock an underlying perfume of Indian spices, cedar chest, sassafras, fragrant soil, and cracked black peppercorns, with slowly emerging wafts of licorice, charcuterie, and rose oil. The assertive, full-bodied palate is taut and muscular, featuring very firm, super tight-knit tannins and seamless acidity, finishing long, long, long. Undoubtedly one of the great modern era Granges, this 2018 is like a hypothetical blend of the concentrated, powerful 2013, albeit with the latent expressiveness of the fabulously opulent, flamboyant 2008. Try to keep your hands off this multifaceted powerhouse for 10-15 years and then drink it over the next 50 years+ or bequeath it to your favored next of kin."
