  Preferred this to many southern Rhone GSMs. Bright and brambly, as a previous reviewer said, quite rich and layered in flavor, without the bitterness that seems to come along with over-extracted grenache. Showed lots of youth for 12 years old.

  Rich, bramble fruits with some complexity from age - spicy oak. Very harmonious. Excellent

  Cloudy dark red. Stewed strawberries, cedar, and cola nose. Light to medium bodied, tangy raspberries, pepper, chocolate cherries, well integrated tannins, and a medium length cranberry finish. Not a subtle wine.

  "2014" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/13/2013-10/18/2013 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {screwcap, 14%} Prunes and raisins. Smells both developing and fermenting all at once. Sweet grenache fruit, rotting strawberries. Palate is as you’d expect; rather low acidity leaves it feeling pretty dense and thick and somehow lacking freshness. High-level chalky tannins help a bit, oak isn’t overdone. Full-bodied, with a medium-length finish, although more on the front-palate than back.. If you like the ultra-ripe grenache style, then it’s pretty good wine.
