Crazy rich, fun, fresh red raspberry finish...

72H Update:
Nose has fresh raspberries, new leather, over-ripe strawberries, lavender and crushed ripe cherries. Palate has sweet cherries, red currant, faint cedar, faint crushed rock, black/red fruit syrup, most tannins have resolved. A fantastic bottle still, at three days open!

Developing depth, warmth and class through the years. Medium-bodied, pure and fresh red fruit, spice and herbs, pinch of kirsch. Very good..!
Bottle 2025/6228; 13.0% ABV

PS: can anybody clarify the “meow” on the cork? 🤔🐱

Light to medium-bodied.
Lovely fruit purity (cherries, raspberries, cranberries, rhunarb), mild tannines, distant hints of green herbs and orange zest. At cellar temperature this is lively, cheerful, refreshing and rewarding.
13% abv; 6228 btls produced.
Very nice.! 😀

Crisp, cool, tart, stemmy and fresh.
Raspberries, cranberries, mineral funk, peppery and spicy garrigue and cold rocks (if that makes any sense…), as opposed to the hot terracotta tiles I often get in many other Grenaches.
This has a very cool-climate feel to it, rather delicate and refreshing. Like a Bojo from Oz. Lovely!
