    [flight] Red fruit (red cherry), a bit jammy, pepper, spicy on the palate. Creamy! A Bit too much herbs/spice for my taste.

  • 2018 An Approach to Relaxation Grenache Sucette 96 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

    [flight] Really nice old vine Grenache. We got canned red cherry, smoked meat, and some cooling sensation (mint/menthol). Finish is long with dried fig and chocolate. Once it opens there is rosemary and dried herbs.

    [flight] Blown away by this wine--probably favorite from the flight. Black fruit, pepper, cherry, chocolate on the nose. Very concentrated and full bodied. Tannic. Also got oak (smoke), shaved pencil, pepper, tea. Very long finish. Some mint/menthol sensation as well.
