Penfolds, Grange other_regions a brilliant wine that derivesGago opened two bottles of this wine, both of which showed signs of past seepage, hence my question mark after the rating. I suspect pristine bottles will show better than these did. A bit mossy and sullen, the 2004 Grange is going through a cranky adolescence. Mocha, cedar and dark fruit on the nose are echoed on the palate of this full bodied, concentrated wine. It's dark and rich, just needs another 5 6 years to emerge on the other side.
