Note di degustazione
Pale rim and very deep, glowing crimson. Rich, almost buttery nose and then sleek and a little reserved on the palate. Should provide exciting future drinking. Dry but not drying finish. (JR)

The opaque purple-colored 1992 Grange exhibits an unevolved, grapy nose of sweet toasty oak, ripe prunes, black raspberries, and cassis. Full-bodied, with lavishly-displayed oaky notes, this formidably endowed, large-scaled wine should develop into an impressive example of Grange, although my instincts suggest it will not be quite as good as the 1990, 1986, or 1982. The wine was kept open for three days without any traces of oxidation. Give it 2-4 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 20 years. This winery continues to turn out an insipid selection of white wines, but the reds are all noteworthy, and some are reasonably good values.
