The Wine Advocate: 93/100
Robert Parker Review: "This is considered a good rather than outstanding Grange, but I have consistently found this wine to be superb. A blend of 91% and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon from a relatively cool growing year, this wine has full body and a gorgeously complex nose of coffee, creme de cassis, caramel, leather, and a subtle hint of pepper and eucalyptus. The wine is very rich, still somewhat unevolved, with more new oak showing through than most vintages of Grange. The wine still has a dense ruby/purple color and seems to need at least another 3-4 years to reach full maturity, with a very sweet, chewy style but exceptional balance. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018.
"
James Halliday Review: "Excellent colour; a clean, quite intense berry/briar/earth bouquet with nicely balanced oak is folowed by a palate on which some slightly assertive green tinges mannifest themselves. Not a great grange, but a far better bottle than that at the Jopheson tasting."

Penfolds Grange 1975
Garnet red; sweet, leather, spice and meaty aromas with some intense liquorice, almost porty nuances. Rich and concentrated with ripe, tobacco/berry fruit and touches of spice and leafiness. Quite extractive and bitter tannins make the wine a very muscular style. Could soften out.
