2012 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 Shiraz (Saint-Louis "Aevum" Limited Edition Crystal Decanter Set)

This is an ultra-luxury, collector-grade presentation uniting Australia's benchmark icon with Europe's oldest crystal manufacture: the Penfolds Grange Bin 95 Shiraz 2012 with Saint-Louis Aevum Limited Edition Crystal Decanter. Released to celebrate the 2012 vintage, this rare gift set pairs a 750ml bottle of the 100-point-rated 2012 Grange with a bespoke, diamond-cut hand-blown crystal decanter and custom silver-plated stand handcrafted in France by Saint-Louis master artisans to elevate the service and aeration ritual. The benchmark 2012 vintage is heralded as one of the absolute greatest modern releases of Grange, matured for 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. The wine reveals an enthralling bouquet of blackberry liqueur, blackcurrant pastille, and dark wild plums, intertwined with mocha, dark roasted cocoa, star anise, smoked charcuterie, crushed graphite, and vanillin cedar. On the palate, it is monumental, symmetrical, and seamlessly concentrated, showcasing velvety, architectural tannins and balanced natural acidity that carries into an extraordinary, unending finish.
