Grang's alter ego! — 11 years ago
The town of Adelaide 1836 1834 penfolds was founded this was a label from one of their next door neighbors auldana cellars they paid homage to this cellar with making this wine since 1953 2200 liter oak vats they just purchased new barrels to age this wine but have used the same barrels since the 1950s this wine has a beautiful bouquet this vintage is the highest scoring st Henri ever 97 points. Very bright black raspberry fruit with black licorice violet very elegant and this wine also usually has a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon in the mix 3% in the 2010 and 9% in the 2002 this wine has a bit of evolution but still has some primary fruit this was a cooler vintage and had great structure and freshness both wines are most excellent

Number 3 tonight of 3. Started with the 2004 Alter Ego from Palmer, followed by the 2012 Realm Farella, and now this wine. The Palmer was good, the Hartwell better, but the Realm was best. This Hartwell at 10 years old has a tremendous amount of life in it. Enjoyed with a brownie made by Liam and supervised by MC. How can cab and brownies be bad. Hey Becca thanks for the shoutout on Delectable, and follow me push. I assume I'm your first wine friend too. — 11 years ago
