  Got for a steal locally. 15ys on an Aussie Grenache had me curious how it was holding up…

  Followed over a few hours from bottle. It could have maybe been double decanted to get some quick air to it as it is still rocking quite the tannin, but it smoothed out quickly. Ripe purple and black fruits (roasted plum, blackberries, black currant) aromatically mixed with sweet tobacco. No menthol/eucalyptus but a distinct sweet note on the mid-palate. Dark, juicy, ripe fruits with old fig jam. Age starting to show itself at the finish. Alcohol started to poke out as it warmed. Drink up.

  Really smooth broad flavor

  Dark garnet color. Aromas and flavors of plums, bramble berries, forest floor, black pepper, roasted herbs and just a bit of barnyard funk. (Which quickly blew off). Quite savory and complex. Noticeable and drying tannins. Full bodied. Well made and delicious, but reaching the end of its life cycle.

  Still tasting great !! I agree with my tasting notes of the past year. Consumed with friends at dinner. This bottle had a dry cork that broke, but was removed with my Durand with no drama. A balanced black cherry cola dream. I still have 3 bottles in my cellar and will continue to validate and update my tasting notes. I love Clarendon Hills wines !!
