三十幾年的酒還像十多年的酒一樣，這款酒的陳年能力真是厲害。 酒力強，亦有一定複雜性，加上長的餘韻，擺明話你知它的高品質。酒無疑可以再陳年，現飲已經不錯，亦有一定想像空間。再多放五至七也無問題。

二十年仍然濃艷的酒，豐富、濃郁、酒力強，亦有一定複雜性和品種特色的黑胡椒味，再加上長長的餘韻，好酒一枝。酒的豐厚度是會令人有飽肚感，好好味。這樣的表現顯示出這酒還可陳放多一段長時間，現在飲已經幾好味，喜愛果味重的已經可以一試。

1998 Penfolds Grange

A deep purple wine with paler rim and heavy legs. It has pronounced aromas of blackberries, black plum, blueberries, sweet spice, black pepper with touch of leather, chocolate and vanilla. On palate, it gives medium zesty acidity and has full body and more than medium alcohol. Ripe and sweet high tannin with intense flavours of fruity attack by tons of black fruit backing up with vanilla type sweet spice. It then evolves to licorice, meaty, savoury, leather flavours, together with a long length and pleasant plumy finish (94)
