BUY THE WINE

Simon Field | Pungent and a little foursquare; still youthful, with notes of stewed tea, hints of nettle, raspberry and cassis; rhubarb, jasmine, and even a touch of prune. Quite a lot going on here. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Slightly paler than its Clare Valley peers: bright scarlet. Fresh, clean, and very appetizing, though this seems a little less sweetly ripe than the best of its peers. Sweet, succulent, long, and appealing on the palate, however, where this wine is serious and structured, with a gravitas that eludes some of its peers; better tannins, too. | 90

David Williams | Excellent depth of fruit—you really get a sense of Grenache’s capability for unforced expression (the gush of red and black berry fruit succulence). But there’s texture and structure, too, enough to put this away in the cellar with confidence for a few years. | 90
