"The 1979's black/purple color is followed by a subdued nose revealing scents of mint, blackcurrant, licorice, and earth. This huge, full-bodied, moderately tannic Grange is extremely youthful and backward. Although not as thick or massive as either the 1978 or 1980, this is a large-scaled, mouthfilling heavyweight from Down Under. 92 Points" - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
