2021 Chateau Reynella Grenache Basket Pressed

McLaren Vale more

3/3/2024 - colinscellar Likes this wine: 91 points

Ripe raspberry, mulberry and some plum. A slight syrupy cherry liqueur feel. Bright acid, powder-soft tannins. Subtle cinnamon at first, aniseed evolving to licorice. Better today than I remember from last time.

{screwcap, 14.5%} Still a deep ruby red. mildly developed nose, packed with ripe fruit but not dead-raisin-grape character. So, blackberry, raspberry jam, milk chocolate, hint of vanilla oak. Voluptuous sort of palate, with lowish acidity, medium finely gritty tannins, but quite a hole in the mid palate; the very definition of it: sweet fruit on the tip of the tongue, gentle astringency on the back palate and little in between. Despite the alcohol, doesn't seem too hot on the medium length finish. Crowd-pleasing full-bodied style with lots going for it, but not worth cellaring past its decade in my view.

2021 Chateau Reynella Grenache Basket Pressed

McLaren Vale more

1/6/2024 - colinscellar Likes this wine: 90 points

Bright amd clear ruby colour in the glass with purple tints, maybe some carbonic maceration? There's some of the red lolly character but it's not dominant. Quite an intense nose as sweet red fruit jumps out of the glass. Probably a pleasure to smell more than to drink.
Quite classic Grenache with firm acidity and soft tannins. Fresh and tart red fruit on opening, gaining some roundness and richness with time in decanter.
Discussed with a friend that the red fruit was mostly indistinct, for us the deciding factor in calling this good but not exceptional. Solid QPR though at $A33/btl, I will consider buying more.

vino bevuto con amici - non ho preso appunti.
Ricordo che era molto maturo probabilmente oltre.... cuoio molto accentuato, comunque di mio gusto.
purtroppo era l'ultima bottiglia.

Remarkable for a 46 year old fortified. Colour still deep, deep red with a beautiful intense nose, sweet but balanced palate and length beyond anticipation. I have not had a bottle of this for over a decade but this one, my last, was memorable. If you have a bottle that has been well stored it is a delight to drink now but will probably see out another 10-20 years.

Big Bottle Lunch: Minimal ullage. Opened a bit skeletal but then blossomed into what all tasters thought was one of the great australian fortifieds. So alive at 53 years of age with solid colour still, purple core. Superb spirit, complexity to burn and a touch of rancio for interest. wow1 What a survivor.

Deep, impenetrable dark purple almost to the edge, Sweet red berry fruit nose,menthol, eucalyptus, medium body (surprisingly), seems almost to be bigger in flavour than the body of the wine... very nice... nice powdery tannins, balanced acidity...

2023 Birthday lunch (Aquitaine Brasserie): Crumbly cork had to be pushed in but wine seemed unaffected. Still lots of lovely sweet raspberry cordial and cherry fruit. Fortified a touch too heavily, a slight chemical whiff that I think was just a bit too much alcohop potency, it's no doubt assisting in the preservation. Wine seemed like it could have gone a couple more decades if the cork would allow it.

Still alive, and pretty feisty too. Spicy, smoky, and sharp. Very soft tannins, and drying red fruits. Quite enjoyable, but don't wait too long.

Fabulous palate. Immediately pleases enormously. Soft, full and with great tannins. Toasty notes on the finish. Unfortunately, the nose is not as interesting. Drink up quickly after opening, lasts only about 90 minutes.

Aerate for 1 hour. Nose finely structured with intense fruit compote and spices. Flavour falls off a little with fruit jam and tea. Too short finish.

Slightly over its peak as the colour is off a bit, but still enjoyable to drink. Tasted upon uncorking, dark fruits aroma but taste slightly blunt. Decant for few hours and it opens up the flavours on the palate. Don't keep further.

Tasted about 12th on the night so no detailed note, but I was impressed the colour was still purplish and the fruit was very fresh. Beat expectations and was popular around the table.
