1951 Grange fetches $54,000
A feature of the recent Langton's auction of Penfolds wines was the sale of a bottle of the un-released Grange experimental 1951 Bin 1 Shiraz. This wine was made from five hogsheads of shiraz from Magill and Morphett Vale, which were apparently cellared for 18 months in new American oak prior to bottling. My only tastings of the wine have shown it to be decades past its best.
