Birthday magnum! What a beautiful, silky smooth, darkly fruity punch in the mouth. A little smoky, a little tart, but mostly just silky smooth. — a month ago

A beauty. Needs a decant prior to consumption. A more linear style. Not fat and rich like Bonneau du Martray. — 7 months ago

I made no notes at the restaurant so doing this from memory. Firstly when the menu is degustation, I never get the matching wine option, preferring to choose a bottle that goes with all courses as much as possible. This light to medium bodied Grenache fits the bill and ticks all the boxes - best district for Grenache in Australia; old vine Grenache, a terrific vintage in South Australia; and a hands off, alternate producer. Grenache can be such a chameleon from barely medium weight with stalky red fruits like this one, with a lovely red floral perfume, to full bodied versions like Rayas and Bonneau Celestins. Barb and I really enjoyed this. Also, Delectable, this was a Grenache Carignan blend - not offered in your database. Continuing our road trip through the Mornington Peninsula. — 10 months ago

A punchy nose with struck match, honeyed lime. Stone and flint. Rick and great acidity subtly laced throughout. Excellent — 2 months ago

Quite light in colour, light crimson - transparent. Sweet red fruits - strawberry and raspberry, savoury overtones. Possibly the lightest table wine Grenache I’ve ever had. When you compare this to Rayas or Bonneau Celestins you realise what a chameleon Grenache can be. Serrat is the personal side project of Yabby Lake winemaker, Tom Carson. Only 580 bottles produced. See previous Delectable note in August 2022. — 5 months ago

Tasted blind. From magnum. Medium gold color, leesy nose. Notes of citrus, almond paste, mint, grapefruit and some ginger. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Lots of acidity. We're all over the map on deciphering what this is. But we circle back to Burgundy and my guess is 89 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlie. This wine tonight certainly benefited from aging in the magnum format... we're all amazed at the freshness and quality this 92 still had. — 2 years ago

Great lunch. The coche’s were subserb, the bonneau was limit. — 2 months ago

Added to my previous note 41 weeks ago in October 2023. A bit too expensive at $465 for what it is. Garrigue. — 3 months ago

Great perfume. Strong burn, bit “alcoholic” in the middle yet with a great finale that really shows hints of the other more renowned cuvées. Less animality than expected. — 9 months ago

Smooth, soft tannins, something that could still sit for another few years or consumed now with a great smile. — 2 years ago
