$785 a bottle for 2008 Grange

The article says the latest vintage of Australia's Penfolds Grange goes on sale on Thursday with an asking price of $785 a bottle.

Yes — the article reports that one influential wine publication gave the latest Grange a 100/100 rating.

According to the article, the latest vintage shows a price hike of more than $100 compared with the previous Grange release.

Campbell Mattinson, publisher of The Wine Front, gives the latest vintage a stellar rating but — as noted in the article — he does not rank it among his top five Granges.

The article highlights extraordinary hype around the 2008 Grange, though it does not go into detail about the reasons behind that attention.

The article raises the question 'is it worth it?' in light of the $785 price, the 100/100 rating and strong hype, but it does not make a definitive investment recommendation.

The article states that one influential wine publication awarded a 100/100 score, and separately notes Campbell Mattinson of The Wine Front gave a stellar rating; it does not explicitly say the 100/100 came from Mattinson or The Wine Front.

Based on the article, high scores (like the reported 100/100) and a price increase of more than $100 contribute to the buzz around the release, but the piece stops short of advising investors — it simply presents the price, the rating and expert reaction for readers to consider.
