Note di degustazione
This possesses a ruby red color with some slight bricking at the edges and while it started out slightly funky and showed some medicinal and burnt aromas, these disappeared with air and the wine as a whole was absolutely delicious. Black cherry and subtle raspberry fruit aromas are backed up by boat loads of underbrush, herb, tar paper and charred earth notes on the nose and lead into a balanced, medium to full bodied palate. Ripe and with lots of sweet fruit, this has a silky smooth texture with perfectly integrated tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, enjoyable finish. Not jammy or viscous, this showed great poise and the acidity really gave the wine a nice precise edge.

The 2001 Grenache Old Vines Clarendon Vineyard’s soaring aromatics envelop the olfactory senses offering up notes of freshly ground pepper, spice box, plums, figs, black cherries, and balsam wood. Full-bodied, thick, and unctuously-textured with great finishing acidity that gives delineation and uplift to the wine’s enormous concentration and overall purity, it is a stunning example of old vine Grenache that should drink well for a decade.
