Penfolds Grange

[whatmeworry]

In early unconfirmed reports, a government-owned liquor outlet in Canada is selling the Grange at $424 Canadian dollars ($416)

Grange price battle heats up

I wonder what a bottle of Kalimna Block 42 (2004) would go for duty free, given an RRP of $160K or so.

Don't know much about Grange but I saw the 2003 for sale at a wine shop on Broadway, Soho for $320 US last week.

Wow. Kind of weird the prices we are being asked to pay.. Especially when so much grange is cellared away these days.

I wonder if they take Everyday rewards. I hope the Airport countdown has the same special in a few weeks.

I took quite a few bottles of Penfolds Grange to the Perth clinic run by Treasury Wines today and had them re-corked seeing they were 30 plus years old. Great people,great advice and the work was done for my favourite price.
My stocks of Grange are now in great shape and I am very happy with the service.
The 707 is still my top Penfolds drop.

I have limited experience with the re cork arrangement. However my only experience was less than auspicious with the wine having definitely turned and frankly very disappointing. Despite a certificate to the contrary.

Only one of the many bottles was "corked" and they replaced it with a current vintage. Well done Penfolds!
I got dust for my Hill Of Grace failure so I avoid it now.

To the poster a couple of pages back looking at buying a bottle or 2 of the current to drink now - sacrilege (and will be disappointing as needs a decade plus to integrate).

I have 1983 to 1999 laid down and stopped buying after that when they produced in 2000 for $400 a bottle when the vintage was poor.

Drunk a few double ups specially purchased for years when the kids were born (when they turned 18 & 21 to celebrate surviving being a parent).

Was well worth the wait - absolute heaven, especially the 1990

Thinking of selling the rest now to help pay the final years of their time at home.

Anyone interested, drop a pm for a AFF discount.
