Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

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.

Medium red. High-pitched, perfumed, floral aromas of cherry, raspberry and eucalyptus. Dense and smooth; likely a coulis of liqueur-like red fruits. Not particularly complex but powerful, shapely and gripping. Finishes with smooth tannins and lingering, fresh flavors of gamey red fruits. Offers a compelling combination of texture and verve.

Rich in flavor and beautifully focused, a mini-explosion of dark berry, cherry, white pepper and crème fraîche flavors that last impressively on the juicy finish, picking up a nice hint of mineral. Tannins are firm but refined.
