Note di degustazione
The 2002 Grenache Old Vines Romas Vineyard plays off the same riff as the Blewitt Springs and Kangarilla 2002 Grenaches tasted alongside and shows the poise and restraint of the cooler season. The wine in character is black fruited and exotic, with layers of meat and leather, autumn leaf and tapenade. Sealed under natural cork, poured from magnum.

Medium-deep ruby in color with a touch of brick, the 2002 Romas Vineyard Grenache offers ripe red currant and red cherry notes that are showing a little evolution, but not too much, plus a slight whiff of menthol and bay leaf. Still very young, this densely packed wine is ripe, rich and concentrated in the mouth and framed by medium-firm, very fine tannins through the long finish. Drink it now to 2022.
The 2002 Grenache Old Vines Romas Vineyard’s saturated ruby/purple color is followed by a superb bouquet of black fruits, truffles, Asian spices, figs, and licorice. Powerful, rich, and upfront, this layered, intensely concentrated Grenache can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years. Roman Bratasiuk is one of Planet Earth’s greatest winemakers, and obviously a top-notch viticulturist given his obsession with sourcing extraordinary fruit from ancient McLaren Vale vineyards.
