Absolutely awesome. Still too young - one of those Albans that’s going to gain weight and complexity over the next several years - but you can immediately see where that 100-pt rating in WA comes from. My advice is, if you only have one bottle of this, hang onto it for 2-3 years. If, however, you have more than one, give this a try. It’s a very cool window into a wine that is great now but will be even better when you crack open the next one in a few years.

Sublime. The egg with half a giant black truffle from Perth shaved on it was pretty good as well.

An excellent example of Central Coast Grenache produced in a uniquely elegant fashion.
