NV | Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny | South Australia Salads all is balanced by notes

all is balanced by notes of fruit

In the mouth it is balanced

the finish should develop in breadth and gravity in coming years

Lifted floral and savory accents meld into a core of punchy red-toned fruit

mid-weight wine from the Cos d'Estournel team

NV | Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny | South Australia Salads all is balanced by notesThe 20 year old Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny is a pale tawny color with a touch of brick. On the nose it is a bit spirituous and shows notes of raisins and fruit cake, some hazelnut and crme brule. The palate shows even more nuttiness and depth along with greater freshness and acidity, though it seems drier than the Father. It finishes very long almost like a sweet oloroso or amontillado. 92 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
