A bottle of 2017 Penfolds Grange, Bin 95, the 70th Anniversary Release.
Grange was first produced by Penfolds winemaker Max Schubert in 1952 and is generally recognised as Australia's finest, and certainly most collectible, red wine.
This is bottle number DR664.
'Strongly marked—as always—by its 100% American oak elevage, the 2017 Grange backs up the cedar and vanilla notes with ample blackberry and cassis fruit. Full-bodied, ripe and almost decadently creamy in the mouth, it's loaded with substance, concentrated and rich, yet—in the context of Grange—relatively light and elegant-seeming on the finish. Only the seventh-ever Grange to be exclusively Shiraz, it originates from Barossa Valley (86%) and McLaren Vale (14%); Shiraz from other growing regions in South Australia failed to make the grade this year.96/100' Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 2021

We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment.
