• Decanter bewertete (06/2026) Bin 95 Grange 2022 wie folgt: "There are times when a tasting of an icon wine can leave you slightly underwhelmed. This was not one of those times. Standing out like an A-lister in a spotlight among the 2026 Collection releases, this 75th anniversary vintage of Grange deserves every standing ovation the audience can give. Coming from a cool growing season – 'I always like the cooler years,' shares chief winemaker Peter Gago – 2022 blends fruit from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra, spending 18 months in new American oak hogsheads. Already offering so much aromatically, with a finely detailed nose that layers rose petals and spice with meaty and earthy tones; so fresh and harmonious. With just 3% of Cabernet in the mix, the palate showcases absolute purity of Shiraz fruit; somehow managing to combine plushness with elegance and vivid energy. Yes, you can deconstruct the impeccable tannins and trademark Grange volatile acidity; but I suspect you'll be swept up in the effortless balance and lingering finish of a wine that already feels so complete, though it also has decades ahead of it. Bravo!."- 100 Punkte
• The Drink Business bewertete Bin 95 Grange 2022 wie folgt: "Intimate and subtly complex. Cedar and peony notes are the first to reveal themselves with a crunchy, lifted dark berry fruit – sloe, blueberry, damson and mulberry. There’s a subtle slightly medicinal note, a little reminiscent of a peaty Islay whisky in the Lagavulin mode! Black cherry too and black olive tapenade, a little soot and oak smoke. Silken textured, from the seamless integration of the tannins. And a lovely cool, whetstone minerality. Searingly fresh, gracious and glossy, this is bright and luminous, all the more impressive for the amplitude, density and concentration of the mid-palate. The tannins are beautifully soft, gently caressing the mid-palate and sculpting a lifted and elegant fantail finish. Texturally sublime and a study in harmony and elegance. There are some striking similarities with the 1998 tasted alongside" - 99 Punkte
• Matthew Jukes bewertete Bin 95 Grange 2022 wie folgt: ""The nose is nothing short of glorious and it is, somewhat shockingly, completely unfurled and open with fresh-picked rose petals, fresh rolling tobacco, and handfuls of fresh earth. In fact, none of the tasting notes has any of the dried characteristics one finds in other vintages. It is majestic, commanding and full-bodied, but also lithe, athletic and certainly more ‘Burgundian’! And I have never thought this word, let alone written it. It is conversational and charming, and the tannins are fresh, fine-grained and imperial. They are certainly big and athletic, but they are also civilised, elegant and downright incredible. This is a perfect example of a perfect, near-drinking Grange. That said, I have no doubt it will run for at least three decades, too!."- 100 Punkte
• James Suckling bewertete (07/2026) Bin 95 Grange 2022 wie folgt: "Another excellent release with a cooler, softer feel reflecting the vintage conditions. Black and blue berries with plum skin, mint, leather, cedar, bitter chocolate, bay leaf and ferric earth. The palate is silky and unctuous with no hard edges, melting tannins and a tense, salivating finish with a savory-edged austerity. A wine with decades ahead to unravel its nuance"- 98 Punkte
• Parker's Wine Advocate bewertete (07/2026) Bin 95 Grange 2022 wie folgt: "The 2022 vintage in South Australia was magnificent. I've loved the wines. It will always live in the shadow of the exceptional 2021 vintage. The season for Grange growers was shaped by a cool, measured growing season across South Australia. Good winter rainfall supported early vine growth, while unsettled spring weather, including hail, reduced yields, particularly for Barossa Valley Shiraz. A mild summer with few extreme heat events allowed slow, even ripening across key regions. Low yields, healthy canopies and extended hang time produced small berries, firm tannins, retained freshness and controlled power. Aromatically, the wine leads with licorice and blackberry, raspberry seed, cold tea and civet paste too. This is intensely concentrated (almost boring to mention that, given it is definitely the house style), powerful and black in character. Grange is made from fully ripe, structured Shiraz grapes sourced from South Australian regions. First produced experimentally in 1951, it has been made in every vintage since and is associated with the relationship between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia. The tannins are primal and arrive with a snarl; they linger once the wine has gone and show immense dominance over all but the fruit. It's a great Grange"- 98 Punkte
