Penfolds Grange Rouge 2001

Lobenberg: Sattes Brombeerrot. In der Nase Cassis und süßliche Waldbeeren, Rauchfleisch, Kirschen und Würze, erinnert an einen großen Cote Rotie. Im Mund ein immenses Potential offerierend, dicht, konzentriert, dabei hochelegant und Finesse bis zum Abwinken. Subtil, schöne Säure neben feinster Fruchtsüße, monumental und doch zart, ein ganz großer Wein! 94-95/100

Parker: Huge amounts of spices and expressive black fruits are found in the aromatic profile of the 2001 La Grange des Peres (red). A more focused and structured effort than in some of this wine's more successful vintages, it is medium-bodied, powerfully concentrated, and densely packed with black fruits that are marked by herbaceous notes from the Cabernet Sauvignon used in the blend. A slight hint of alcoholic warmth was detected in this effort's lengthy, ripe tannin-filled finish. 90/100
