Parker about I'm 95 - Grange 1999
The 1999 Grange does not come close to such great Granges as the 1998, 1996, 1991, and 1990. Dense ruby/purple to the edge, with a bouquet of blackberries, mulberries, and floral-like aromas, and medium to full body, the 1999 has an acid punch, but also tremendous layers of fruit and extract. Not massive, but elegant and nicely layered, it requires another 2-3 years of cellaring, and should last for 12-15 years.

I'm 95 - Grange 1999

The Penfolds Grange 1999 is an outstanding wine from Australia, produced by the renowned Penfolds winery. As one of the country's most iconic wines, the Grange has a rich history and is considered one of the finest Shiraz wines in the world.
The 1999 vintage of Penfolds Grange is renowned for its exceptional quality. It was made from a blend of primarily Shiraz grapes with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from select vineyards in South Australia.
The Penfolds Grange 1999 is a deep, impenetrable crimson color. The bouquet is intense and complex, with aromas of black cherries, ripe blackberries, and plums, accompanied by spices such as black pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. Notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and fine cedar wood add additional depth and refinement.
On the palate, the Grange 1999 presents itself powerfully and full-bodied. Rich fruit flavors combine with well-integrated, silky tannins and lively acidity to give the wine structure and balance. The complexity and length of the finish are impressive and leave a lasting impression.
The Penfolds Grange 1999 is a wine of exceptional quality and has excellent aging potential. It can be enjoyed now, after adequate bottle ageing, or stored for additional years to experience additional depth and development.
This remarkable wine is an excellent accompaniment to hearty meat dishes such as roast beef or game. It is a delight for wine lovers who appreciate the complexity and elegance of a premium Australian Shiraz wine.
