2021 Vanguardist Wines Grenache MVG
11/29/2023 - Geerath wrote: 93 Points
DIAM. Highly aromatic. A bowl of red liquorice and pastilles. Palate is new season red cherries, raspberry and black tea. Acid is medium+. Slightly drying fine-grained tannins on the tongue. Alcohol levels feel slightly elevated, 14.3% on the bottle. Much brighter with more definition than the 2020. There’s a lot of savoury red fruited purity, nothing woody or heavy about it. I always go for these McLaren vale Grenaches chilled out of a pinot glass, where possible. This follows closely on the heels of the magnificent 2019 and 2016.

2019 Château Palmer

Bouquet is dark fruited, Cabernet dominated, it’s very deep and exotic but paradoxically not heavy or giving me a sense of being concentrated, maybe sultry a better word, there’s also tobacco, black cherry echoing raspberry, hint of oak with an indian spice maybe cumin. Palate is silky and sweet, medium acid. Tannins a little feminine, ever so slightly grippy, very finely rounded and integrated. Bottle says 14% alcohol. It’s all so embryonic at this stage with no offensive edges in anyway, it almost fails to be noticed, but there’s certainly an elegance to this. I’m NR just because I’m bedazzled by its profile at the moment (at gun point maybe 94-95 depends on how it shakes out over time)

2019 Château Figeac

Aromas are unlocked, silky palate, full bodied, dense fruit, the tannins are substantial, yet perfectly ripe and rounded. Tasted with the Montrose 2019 beside it and it’s showing less oak influence. It’s everything full throttle but it’s complex, layered and evolving in the glass. So much more concentrated than the equally delightful but more medium body of the Canon 19. A great addition to the cellar, stuffing to last, can’t really go wrong with this one 2029+
