Simon Field | Cochineal color, almost transparent in its luminosity, but without any spiritual intervention. Attractive aromatic of herbs, verbena, and black tea, maybe a little stewed. Bittersweet and not without appeal, a soft sweet core eventually located, but maybe ultimately lacking a little in concentration. | 88
Andrew Jefford | Pale deep rose-red. Aromatically, this is a little thin and sinewy. There is some rose-like floral charm, but it doesn’t communicate the ripeness you hope to find in a Grenache wine. On the palate, it is raw and abrupt, without length and resonance. | 80
David Williams | A very successful version of the light, airy Pinotesque style of Grenache. A touch of bergamot, pomegranate, cherry; nimble tannin. Freshness and concentration without excess. | 92
