Tight focused and in need of more time. Great underlying structure. A lot more open and enjoyable on day 2 with extra volume on the plate. Leave 5 years or decant for at least 1/2 a day.

Superbe Grenache, délicat et floral mais avec une finale tout en épices et énergie. Rapport qualité-prix exceptionnel

Dry but nice fragrant bright jubey fruit. Very very bright vibrant ruby colour. 93 Plus 1 day. More texture, broader (in a good way. This wine needs a lot more time. 94.

SLDS Jan 2025 : Blackberry, redcurrant and violets on the nose. More structure and density versus the 2021. Deeper fruit and not as light on its feet. Still good but preferred the prettier style tonight.

Sicherlich ein sehr guter Wein aber absolut nicht mein Ding. Hatte deutlich mehr Power erwartet aber es war ein sehr filigranes Pflänzchen. Toller Wein für die die ihn zu schätzen wissen.

Quite tart, no sweetness. Sinewy dryness towards the finish. Perfumed high toned tart red fruit. 93 Plus 1 week. Really lovely and perfumed. Impressively perfumed red and violet fruit. Mid to high acid but balanced. 94. Interestingly the wine shut down with more air.

Ripe red berries, full bodied, a firm amount of sweetness and good acidity and ripe tannin. Beautiful and juicy wine.

Deceptively light in appearance and front palate but don't get me wrong this is serious grenache. Tight and firm, never feels powerful or ripe yet runs determinedly in a straight line. Incredibly strong reviews and whilst I don't get as excited this is a good wine. Not a keep for mine.

Austalia Trade Tasting (Lindley Hall, Royal Horticultural Halls) : fruit forward, different, a few herbal notes, juicy, red fruit, spicy, seems overpriced, lacks depth

Bright red jubey fruits. Acid is there but not too high or low. Hints of drying tannins. Fruit is good however a little one dimensional. Easy to drink. 92

Grenache might not be my thing

This decidedly lighter Grenache shares a nose and palate of sour cherry and allspice. A good wine but bears no resemblance to a Gigondas, or Garnacha. Considering the astronomic score it received from one critic, I was completely underwhelmed.

How about those beautiful tannins! Terrific grenache, a lighter expression but bursting with roses, violets, raspberries and baking spices. Great length of flavour, drinking well know but the structure should hold this together. My style of grenache

Lovely wine. Tasting blind, I originally thought it was cru Beaujolais, but ended up correctly guessing grenache (and incorrectly guessing Southern Rhone) due to the rather weak acidity and clear strawberry flavor. This is a fruity / floral wine with an immediate sense of deliciousness. Ample tannins provide a modicum of seriousness, but this wine is best described as “pretty.” While I understand the sky high praise for this wine (e.g., 99 JS), I am not quite that enamored with …

On the fence with this one, I keep getting drawn back to it - good sign, and a beautiful perfume. Can’t shake the medicinal, high alcohol which is showing above the fruit on my pallet. Maybe time will be the adjudicator.

First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield) : Served blind. Savoury, earthy, slightly reductive, red berry. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity, slight sweet and sour fruit, bold, tight, chalky tannins, alcohol warmth on the finish. I guessed Australian Grenache, natural, 2018, possibly Victoria

Easy to find in CT search function. 19 Ovitelli Grenache Instantly recognisable on the nose. Beautiful floral and soft red fruit nose. Delicate rosewater, musk, and a slight talc and soap on entry. Through the middle it feels light to medium weight, almost dilute for a moment, then it flourishes and glides in to to its tannins with focus on those red and purple fruits. Finish is one where the sweet blonde spice, slight bitterness shine through, but it’s the …
