Region/G.I.: Mount Lofty Ranges, Clare Valley
Vintage: 2003
Colour: Rich yellow (although not golden)
Alcohol: 13.0%
Bouquet: An elegant balance of petroleum and grapefruit with neither dominating
Flavour: Stunning. Think grapefruit pith and some lime with dry, sourness harmoniously bound together. Nice length as well.
Points: 88 (3+8+12+7+8)
Notes: Marius is second time lucky in bringing a Grosset wine to our tasting, the last time, some 11 months ago, his choice came in last place. This time, he brought a winner. This was delicious and delicate. A joy to drink. Maybe I should have score higher....
The seal was screw cap.
