  Some smoke and menthol along with a core of raspberry. Nice flesh and volume and tangy, fresh acidity punctuating the finish. Drinking really well.

  This bottle bears no resemblance to the other TNs. Faded color, minimal fruit, hot, thin. Presumably a bad bottle (but not corked).

  Lovely, thick, full Grenache. Really nice drop.

  Pretty similiar in flavour and dimensions to the 2010 Hentley Farm Grenache I drank earlier this year, which I suppose you would expect given the reasonably close vincinity in which the grenache was grown with each other.
  
  Dark puple colour. Aromas of musky red fruits (raspberry and cherry mainly) and perhaps a hint of florals too. Silky, creamy texture in the mouth with flavours of red cherry, raspberry, plums and spice. No discernable earthy characters. Slightly confectionary, although less so that the Hentley Farm.
  
  Just a hint of heat from the alcohol which is a surprise given it comes in at 15.5%. Pretty good length. But, the main thing here is that it is really delicious and I think a wide audience would enjoy this.

  White pepper, black pepper, Sargent pepper... Classic grenache taste with a big band feel. Smooth and medium to full bodied, subtle fruits and lengthy finish. A great tipple that renewed my faith in Langmeil. Definitely got better after some thinking time in the decanter.
