Adelina Grenache 2009

Wendouree, Clare, South Australia. Grenache. 13%. Diam. $A39

This expressive and characterful wine is beautifully presented. Earthy and dusty when woken before showing raspberry and dried herbs (bay & thyme), menthol and eucalyptus. Crisp and juicy, a suggestion of confection and a corset of fine acids. With air and time it softens slightly and shows more creaminess, while the poised finish is fine and meaty. 92. Now - 2015+
