Item 8. Penfolds Grange Hermitage Bin 95 Vintage 1972 Bottled 1973.
“Grange Hermitage is generally recognised as Australia’s finest red wine…. Grange is made for selected Hermitage Grapes grown at the Grange Vineyard, Magill, in the foothills of Adelaide South Australia, and the Kalimna Vineyard, Barossa Valley, South Australia. Matured in small oak casks prior to bottling, Grange Hermitage will improve with additional bottle maturation. During bottle maturation, it might throw a slight crust or deposit – it is therefore recommended that the wine be decanted prior to serving.”
Bottle has always been laid down, never opened, but has lost a small amount of volume due to evaporation.
Current owner purchased this bottle in August 1978 for the princely sum of $8.
CURRENT HIGHEST BID: $300 (updated 3.17pm 1 June)

Item 11. Hardy’s Vintage Port 1975 Ref D332
“This Vintage Port has been produced from selected Shiraz grapes, grown in the premium vintage
port area of McLaren Vale, and picked at the peak of maturity. In accordance with the style, this
wine exhibits deep, rich colour, aggressive tannin, and a pungent, varietal bouquet. It is a wonderful
cellaring prospect which will continue to improve in the bottle for many, many years. After several
years, a crust will probably form, and the wine should be carefully handled and decanted before
use.”
