1982 Penfolds Grange - opened and decanted just before serving. Initially nose was a little burnt rubber and shoe polish, with lots of coconut butter, vanilla, and sweetness. Definitely smoky. Smooth on the palate with nice acidity. The acidity became a little too much after about 2½ hours in the decanter, but otherwise this drank very nicely.
