Despite its age, this wine has a freshness about it. Nice light fruits, strawberries and cherries. Good tannins across the mid palate, with a good medium finish and a nice medium weight to the wine.
Benefits from some time in the decanter - we drank after 30 minutes. Any more and I think the wine loses too much of its fresh appeal.
Definitely in its drinking window now, I'd drink up in the next 6 to 12 months.

A typical Australian Grenache with strawberries. Quite lightweight body and colour. Not enough structure for me, and lacks complexity and finesses. Most other people at this tasting enjoyed the wine, for me probably my least favourite of the night. 2016 - 2019.
