Yesterday I paid a visit to one of our local government liquor dispensing monopolies for some items. I noticed at the tasting bar that they were sampling 2006 Penfold's Grange. I have long heard of this mythical wine so I plonked down the $5 for the 1 ounce pour. A full bottle was retailing for $500. The nose was very delicate, had a French quality to it. I took my sweet time aerating it, sipped and swished a bit here and there. Not bad, but not $500 worth great either. Halfway through I noticed a serious amount of sediment. I brought this to the attention of the attendant. He thought it was strange. He queried a few of his workmates and I can sense the horror and backpedalling. "It's supposed to be like that".."..or course it has sediment!"...etc. I for one see no excuse for such a high end bottle of wine to have sediment. I expect that from a bottle of Port. For you Grange lovers. Is that normal? Finding sediment in the bottle.
