Robert Parker Review: "Penfolds’ renowned 2000 Grange is only the fifth vintage to be made from 100% Shiraz (the others being 1951, 1952, 1963, and 1999). It is also, atypically, 100% Barossa fruit. While it is not considered to be one of the great Granges, the 2000 exhibits outstanding potential, and is much more accessible than usual. One of the top wines I tasted from this vintage (which has had to take a back seat to subsequent years), its dense ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet nose of blackberries, cherries, chocolate, and earth. With decent acidity, ripe, silky tannin, superb intensity, wonderful equilibrium, and a more open-knit, softer, accessible style than usual, it can be drunk now or cellared for 15-16 years. While this is no wimpy wine, it is an ideal example for readers who are unwilling to invest the patience required for the big, blockbuster Granges.
"
James Halliday Review: "This was not a great vintage, and this wine was trenchantly criticised by one prominent winewriter early in its life. Rigorous selection, a small make, and generations of experience have in fact produced a classic, slowly but surely evolving wine with abundant power and concentration. Sultry blackberry, dark chocolate, a strong tannin structure and balanced oak tell the tale.
Drink 2010-2030 C 14? alc Southeast Australia"

Featured Wine:
Penfolds Grange 1977
Purple/red; sweet, dark chocolate/briary with hints of tar roasted meat. Richly flavoured with dark chocolate/berry fruit, loose knit but slightly bitter tannins and long finish. Good overall balance but unlikely to improve. Will hold.
