Penfolds Great Grandfather Rare Tawny
Exemplifying the epitome of balance, intricate detail and depth of complexity, Great Grandfather is infused with reflections of rancio, fig, toffee, roast nuts, prune and plum pudding. Its sheer intensity, concentrated by a colossal 40 to 45 years of maturity, is immaculately balanced by savoury nuances of bitter almonds, providing finesse and poise to the finish, keeping it lively even after all of these years. A remarkable tawny in sheer intensity, magnificence and a finish that lingers for minutes.
