A terrific balance of ever so slightly candied fruit and savoury wood spice. Another major win is the fine grained palate coating texture no doubt due to it being unfined and unfiltered. Seriously what a bargain

Interesting - grenache flavours but with a herbal/green infusion that you might like or not. I’m a bit on the fence. Savoury finish, not candied, fresh but back to back with the Yangarra old vine Grenache ($28 Yangarra vs $20 Cirillo street price), great prices, both quality but I’ll go the Yangarra.

Elegant and slightly oxidative - blueberry, cranberry, and pomegranate with persistent eucalyptus notes. #sommcon

A better than average quaffer for $17 from old Grenache vines in the Barossa. Notes of confectionery and rose petals. Good balanced wine but nothing special. I agree with the views espoused by some Wine Pros that McLaren Vale is a better area for Grenache than the Barossa. 16.

From 80 yo (Survivor) vines: red berry, soft spice; layered, soft and gentle with cascading length. Superb.

2013. Beautiful bright red fruits, subtle oak and tannins. Mid weight with perfect length. Can drink now or hold with confidence.
