Description
L’intensité du nez est incroyable. Les notes de fruits rouges confits, les épices douces et ce caractère minéral typique de Grange font de ce cru, une légende australienne. Au deuxième nez, ce sont les épices fortes et le cacao qui font leur entrée. On retrouve un volume exceptionnel en bouche avec des touches balsamiques très gourmandes. La finesse ne manque pas avec cette texture dense et élégante. Les tanins sont encore ferment mais ne manqueront pas de s’assouplir avec le temps. Grange reste la cuvée de garde australienne par excellence.
Suggestion gourmande
Filet de T-bone fumé aux sarments et chutney de cramberries.
Avis des Experts
The Wine Advocate
"The 2010 Grange is a 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 96% Shiraz blend made from Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and Magill Estate fruit that was aged 17 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. Very deep purple-black in color, this is classic Grange - amongst the finest produced - replete with fresh, vibrant and youthful black fruit notes showing some blueberry aromas and accents of camphor, anise and the slightest floral hint plus a whiff of oak in the background to lend a cedar-laced lift to this textbook Shiraz nose. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, it is very taut and finely constructed showing typically firm, grainy, uniform tannins, great concentration and wonderful persistence on the finish. If I have any very slight complaint of this near perfect wine it is that it seems a little too clinical and appears to speak less of the land and the heart of South Australia and more of the very skilled winemaking than did the Grange from the magical 2008 vintage."
Wine Spectator
"Focused, elegant, powerful and layered, exhibiting plum, currant, floral, spice and coffee flavors that come together seamlessly and persist on the long, complex finish. This has presence and deftness in equal measure, with well-integrated tannins. Best from 2018 through 2030."
