An outstanding Grenache

Very deep black crimson purple colour with black purple hue. Delightful perfumed nose of violet, raspberry, cherry, confectionary and spice. Explosive palate, full bodied, generous and 'joosy', totally encasing the mouth. Layers of liquorice, some spicy black pepper and ripe raspberry deliver outstanding length and depth. Velvet smooth tannins, with exceptionally long aftertaste of liquorice, raspberry and spice.
Cellar 4-5 years (2012-2013)

Other Reviews…
The 2006 Grenache Blewitt Springs is slightly reticent aromatically but has plenty of spicy cherry fruit on the palate. Firmly structured, it will evolve for 6-8 years but will be enjoyable in its youth.
