A deep tawny color with aromas of licorice and raisins, full-bodied, sweet with a long finish. A perfect after dinner dessert wine.

An excellent non-vintage port at a fair price. If you look around, you might find it for about $80. Drink now. Cheers.

From Penfolds Overview: With each vintage, varietal batches are selected for Grandfather. These batches are individually aged in seasoned old oak casks before being blended together at 14 years of age. This blend is then introduced into the ‘Grandfather Solera’. This Solera consists of six stages that are designed to fully integrate all components offering consistency and freshness with a final minimum average blended age of 20 years. (Ed. Current vintages in the Solera range from 1960-2004.)
