Alex Hunt: This slightly older Grenache is showing a lot of dusty evolution, and the underlying fruit seems jammy on the nose. The palate is much more appealing, with a warm-strawberry fruit character, quite a lot of tannin but an overall softness due to the age. It’s rather old-school and delicate. A bit of an oddity. 85

Andrew Jefford: Clear, translucent scarlet. Sweet, warm, honeyed strawberry fruits. On the palate, though, this is a little bit acidic and cross-grained, a touch raw and ungrateful, without the serene mellow qualities of the finest of its peers. 83

Peter Liem: Taut and fresh, this feels vibrant in its red-fruit flavors, enlivened by bright acidity. It persists on the finish with lively, fragrant length, if not a lot of complexity. 89
