Great Grandfather Rare Tawny 30 years NV Penfolds

Professional reviews

BOW (8.75)

Robert Parker (96)

The 30 year old Penfolds Great Grandfather Rare Tawny is pale tawny in color and has a more profound nose than the Grandfather or Father labels of this style. The nose presents some earthy notes that wrap a complex spiciness around a core of Christmas cake, dried fruits, milk chocolate and incense. It’s a huge wine in the mouth - very serious stuff - with tons of layers and racy acid line to carry the flavor through the very long finish that also has a pleasant minerality.

Deep rich tawny with yellow rim. Sweet and rancio, Glorious. Tense and nervy, lovely. Lots of green and race.
