Based on the strength of his 1994s, proprietor Roman Bratasiuk was named one of my "Wine Producers of the Year" in issue #108. His skill in turning old head-pruned vines into majestic wines of extraordinary richness and purity has been confirmed with the release of the 1995s. These wines are massive and rich as well as extraordinarily well-balanced and pure. I have never tasted an Australian Merlot that was more concentrated than Penfold's Grange, a Shiraz-based wine. The gratifying, opaque purple-colored 1994 Merlot boasts a huge, smoky, black-cherry-scented nose, succulent, chewy flavors, massive body, and a juicy, nicely-layered, long finish. It is all silk and fruit, but with more alcohol and intensity than one might expect. Drink it over the next decade. These are amazing wines.Importer: The Australian Premium Wine Collection, imported by Cabo Distributing, South El Monte, CA; tel. (818) 575-8090
