Thursday, September 28, 2023 - Four decades of Penfolds Grange (Chicago, IL): In hindsight, it's pretty clear this is the most modern of the wines tonight, and that there is a very clear continuum from here back to 1977. This shows dense black fruit, with a sweetness that definitely pushes the boundaries a little bit. Very intense American oak as well, with more cabernet dustiness than syrah smoke. Honestly I could confuse this for a Monte Bello (no bad thing, really). Young, leathery tannins. Not much upside to opening now -- better in a decade at the very least.
