Max Schubert loved music. When entertaining guests at his home, Schubert’s record player would accompany any get together – with wine and music always the focal point.

2010

Deep crimson. Intense pure elderberry, blackberry and liquorice aromas with roasted chestnut, vanilla and camomile notes. Plush and densely packed with elderberry, blackberry liquorice flavours, plentiful fine chalky tannins and underlying mocha, vanilla and roasted chestnut oak notes. Finishes chocolaty firm with abundant sweet fruits. Classical, powerful and expressive Grange with superb density, richness and balance. Still needs time to unfold. Drink 2030 – 2060.

2017

Deep, bright crimson‑red. Explore savoury aromas of pastrami, ground cumin, sticky rice pudding, apricot, vanillin pod and coconut husk. The palate is laden with shiraz fruits. Red and black liquorice, burnt vanilla marshmallow and dark chocolate notes. Finishes velvety, rather than blocky at this youthful stage in bottle. Tannins are tight, creating a dense coating. Drink 2027 – 2060.
