September 13, 2023 - This is a very basic wine. I've had a lot of Australian Grenache that is amazing. Particularly Clarendon.
I'm accustomed to drinking mostly Grenache from the Rhone Valley which can be extraordinary. Especially some of my favorite CDP. Also California Central Coast Grenache is lovely.
This is just one dimensional, it has a fair amount of strawberry, it has some decent spice but it's it is one dimensional. No depth, not much else going on. There is a very little finish, the little finish is has is course, and the nose is stingy.
I would say over all the wine is marginal, it's not something that I would seek out nor want to drink again. -

July 15, 2016 - Grenache och Cinsault från Barossa Valley. Skön nos med röda bär, hallon och jordgubbar, vitpeppar och kardemumma. Väldigt grenachig.
Tyvärr lite spretig i munnen, känns eldig trots blygsamma 13,5%, lite bitter och vass, söt frukt och ett varmt slut. Skulle nog kunna tas för en varm PN också.
Rätt ok ändå även om smaken inte riktigt matchar doften.1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 8, 2016 - Very fruity sweetish wine with a fair amount of acidity to balance. Clean and well made but without any real complexity. Very "easy drinking" mix of Grenache and Cinsault.
