Thorny Devil Old Vine McLaren Vale Grenache 2023

Pale ruby in color; stewed strawberries, hibiscus, and raspberries on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like raspberry sauce, red currants, eucalyptus, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie and I like it. — 8 months ago

The Vagabond Blewitt Springs Old Vine Grenache 2022

The pieces are in place, from the brambly opening to the ripe dusty cherry with citrus peel and silky tannins. It just drops towards the end, really asking for a bright finish, but not quite delivering on acidity. This is a very subjective view though, though, my take on the varietal more than the execution — 9 months ago

The Cunning Plan McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022

Haven't had a ton of Shiraz but I liked this one. Barrel forward but not unbalanced. Dark fruit prevalent throughout, blueberries stand out, balanced by vanilla and some baking spices l, I get a little chocolate on the tongue as well. Definitely a heavier hitter but would be great to share! Would have again. — a year ago
