Description
On ne présente plus le mythique Grange, roi des vins australien. A base de Syrah principalement, Max Schubert a élaboré son premier millésime en 1951. Grange représente l’harmonie parfaite entre le terroir de l’Australie du Sud et le grand cépage Shiraz. Assemblage de 97% de Shiraz et de 3% de Cabernet Sauvignon, élevage de 18 mois en fût totalement neuf. Garde de 50 ans à minima.
Suggestion gourmande
T bone grillé aux sarments, frites de patate douce à la graisse de canard.
Avis des Experts
The Wine Advocate
"This wine comes with high expectations—as does the vintage. The 2018 vintage across South Australia (and cheekily, we could probably extend the accolade to all of Australia) was excellent. It was warm, but without incident, and responsible for powerfully ripe, serious wines. Many producers made some of their best wines in this vintage. So here, to the 2018 Grange: there is spiced raspberry, lashings of salted licorice, red curry paste, layers of forest berries, rendered lamb fat and crushed pink peppercorns to start. In the mouth, the tannins close around the fruit with the same polish and seamlessness as the 2008, possibly the 2004? Very different vintages, but there is a textural similarity for me. This is polished and glossy and so very pretty. It contains 3% Cabernet Sauvignon this year, and 69% Barossa, 18% McLaren Vale and the balance from Clare Valley. Each of the regions brings with it its own characteristics. Barossa brings the red dirt, blood, deli meat and rust. McLaren Vale brings the plush purple fruits with a side of meat and licorice. Clare brings the polish, the opulence and the velvet texture. With their powers combined, this is an extraordinary Grange. One of the true greats, which will only get better as it ages."
