Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, McLaren Vale
Vintage: 2000
Closure: Cork
Colour: Dark copper with light copper hue
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Complex aromas of raspberry, pine needles and cardamom
Flavour: Dense, forest berries conserve (povidla). Very nice, soft tannins rounding out nice length and tingle at the end of the tongue. (Note that this was the first of four blind samples so on re-tasting about an hour later, the wine, which had been decanted, had become rather bland).
Points: 85 (4+8+11+6+6+50 but on first tasting 89=4+8+12+7+8+50)
Notes: This wine was marked down heavily by F. and I on restasting as it had not really been that long since the bottle was opened and we expected it to last longer. Regardless, we were outnumbered and this was the winner of our 100% Grenache tasting based on aggregate scrore.
