currants and other dark fruits
a well-structured mid-palate
the wine's depth and length is becoming more and more apparent
it’s both sharp and immensely layered
even if it lacks some of the visceral thrill of the very best wines made at Soldera’s Case Basse property
1998 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 (Case of 6 Bottles) Champagne currants and other dark fruits"Massive, packed and stacked with multiple layers of ripe fruit. The wine is filled with fresh blackberries, smoke and spice. This is a beefy, masculine, powerful, tannic wine that demands time. While the quality of the wine is there, and it's clearly well made, for my own palate, it is more about sheer power than finesse." 96 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
