Wow! 10 year old Garnacha from Oz. They sure made it look like Spanish wine with the painting and name. Screw-top like most Aussies. Fairly rusty color. More brown than orange you see in some Grenache. Smells nice. Cherry candies and orange peels. Maybe a bit of beeswax candle. Flavors are still popping. Juicy, tart and fruity. Cherry/apple ciders and raspberry sauce. Tannins are excellent. This stuff aged beautifully. Would be fun to put it in a Granacha/Grenache around the world taste-off.

Well composed ‘critter’ label. This was a nice balanced and interesting Grenache that aged very well. Wish I’d bought more than one bottle.

Fresh, bright and easy to enjoy. Red fruits with spice and some lifted floral notes. Medium bodied. Nice stuff.
