Wow - very elegant and nice Aussie. We were very impressed with this wine - suited perfectly well with lamb filet and chantarell risotto. Didn't decanter, and took appr 15 minutes to come through. Very elegant style for being a Grenache, very smoothe but still complex.

Tasted April 24, 2008. No formal tasting note. Ordered as part of the tasting menu at Alinea in Chicago. Much bigger in style than a typical Grenache coming out of the Rhone or Spain as one would suspect. Good wine but not my particular style. Drink over the short to medium term.

Very nice nose with herbs, spice and friuit. Very smooth finish, tanins very resolved and above average length.

Creamy sour cherries, tobacco and a hint of spices on the nose. Smoky cherries and leather. Medium bodied. Not-so-long finish. Very nice.

Rich and meaty. Went well with tagine-braised chicken mole.
