Product Notes

Penfolds Great Grandfather Rare Tawny 30 Year Old wine is the epitome of liquid elegance and complexity. Originating from Australia, this opulent, deep amber-coloured treasure is enriched with mature notes of dried fruit, chocolate and burnt toffee. The ageing process lends quartz-like crystallinity and a plush mouthfeel. Spiced aromas conjure up exotic Eastern marketplaces whilst walnut and roast almond undertones add depth. Stunning natural acidity cuts through the richness, resulting in a well-balanced, persistent finish. One sip invites another, making this an exemplary wine to sip and savour. A hallmark of absolute quality, this is a collector’s delight.

Tasting Notes

COLOUR - Lustrous deep tawny with an obvious yellow-green edge. NOSE - Intense, fragrant and seductive. Alluring toffee/praline notes. Rich fruit characters of quince paste, fig, raisin and candied peel. Toasted almonds and roasted chestnuts. The aromatic elements conspire into a wonderful integration, that complexes and evolves in the glass. PALATE - Seamless and integrated from start to finish. Dark fruitcake, milk and dark chocolate, coffee, vanillin and aniseed all in abundance. Toffee/brûlée sugar with orange zest and marzipan add length and balance to the palate. The richness and weight of the wine are held in harmony by the spirit-acid balance, which conveys the long, persistent finish.
