This is not what I was expecting - tasting blind I would almost guess a full bodied pinot noir. Dark clear ruby color, showing some greenness/ sour cherry flavours. Certainly not a sweet confected wine that you could associate with a Mclaren Vale grenache. Certainly showing some elegance and intrigue. Drinking well now after a short decant, however will be better in a year or two.

Palate felt a bit off tonight, perhaps 3rd jab Covid jab today related, so feels a bit unfair to say not a lot going on here…

Fine structure, elegant but very long. A tiny fruity sweet core, but concentrated and precise. A beautiful Grenache!
Ap 5/5, Ar 12/15, Palate 18/20, Overall 3+3/10

soft blackberry fruit but nicely balanced with tannins still in the background

Fresh sour berries, bright acidity, silky tannins, some vanilla, chocolate, m/m- bodied, all smooth and elegant. Very good!
