Oh my! Ripe red fruit and a beautiful earthiness underlying the fruit. Delicious.

Juicy and full of all the blackberries, raspberries, and black raspberries you could want, but stays just this side of over ripe and over jammy. Surprisingly fresh and non-oxidized for a 6 year old Grenache.

Not my usual gig, but I do like it. Hi alcohol but oddly lean. The old vines come through. I'd drink again.

Australian Premium Wine Collection. 14.5% ABV. Grenache is the new Malbec, apparently. Delicious dark ripe fruits with lovely herbal layers. Powerful, and one significant step short of jammy.

Smells fantastic. Wine was delicious, rich and fruity with strong notes of cherry and dark fruit.

Ripe red fruit, light let her and tobacco, a bit of jammyness or bubblegum, light medium acidity and round tannins. Great example of an aging Grenache!
