An appealing, early drinking expression of Grenache Mourvèdre Shiraz. Light and airy. Not big on density but calms like a cooling breeze. It’s 65%, 25% and 12% respectively for those keeping score at home.
Vital cherry and blueberry with a streak of sweet raspberry running through it. Rose water fragrance in the glass. Plenty of fruit and peppery spice with tastefully applied French oak. Thatch and leaf from the cool year. Nippy acidity but it has the flavour to accompany it. Elegant, medium-bodied and moreish. I wouldn’t cellar it but it is drinking very well right now. 91 Good
