Tasting Notes:size> Second of the three "hidden" Granges made by Max Schubert in defiance of a company order to cease production. Now a rarity. Always considered a lesser Grange.

Lighter style. Mature. (Rewards of Patience, 1st ed., 1985)

Past its peak. (Huon Hooke, 1993)

"Well past its peak. The second ‘hidden’ Grange. Extremely rare- curio and collector value." (Southcorp Wines, The Rewards of Patience, Fourth Edition, March 2000)
