80s PENFOLDS GRANGE @TOTORAKU (aka Blade Runner)

We tasted every vintage of Penfolds Grange from the 80s (and a few from the 90s).

80s GRANGE IS IN THE ZONE RIGHT NOW — so drink up — it is a beautiful, solid wine — but needs 30 years plus to blossom.  The 98 needs another 10 years.

TOP THREE were 88, 86 and 98, in that order.

NOTE:  Totoraku has the best tomatoes I have ever tasted, anywhere!
