Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny
With an average age between 20 and 25 years, Grandfather has evolved wonderful complexity of aromas of bitter walnuts, dried fruits, burnt toffee, Christmas cake, raisins and hints of black olives and woodspice. A luscious and complex palate captures deeply-layered complexity with a freshness and a clean finish that maintains its savoury, lively poise, thanks to immaculately integrated spirit, refreshing acidity and understated sweetness. Grand, indeed.
