"A tribute to Barossa's remarkable old-vine heritage, this remarkable Grenache comes from a vineyard planted in 1850. It's a model of purring, beautifully balanced concentration, with fragrant bramble-bush fruit, red liquorice and rosemary, a sprinkle of fine tannin and a long cherry-and-gently peppered finish. Outstanding."

"Irresistible spiciness and fruit purity on the nose. Rhubarb, cranberry † rather Pinot-esque. Long, warm but not hot with excellent supple texture and a natural sense of balance † sizeable but integrated. (RH)"
