Blimey. Much as I love to hate the idea of Grange I won a bottle of 1990 ten years ago in a wine hypotheticals runby the company's marketing honcho. I drank it late last year. I was ready to hate it, be snide about it and just slag it off in a Michael Winner sort of way. The trouble was it was absolutely brilliant. But I gues it's much easier to love an expensive wine when you don't have to pay for it...

Ridiculous, there will be some discounting by retailers no doubt, but at $300-500AUD I can buy aged great vintage bottles of Grange at auction ('71, '83 ,'90, '96 etc or even legends for around $650AUD like '65/'66 that will be right in their drinking window).
'01 will probably be good (would struggle to be worse than 2000 by all reports anyway), but I can't see any reason to buy it at that price unless you want a 21st wine for a child born in that year.
