Yangarra, Old Vine Grenache, McLaren Vale 2005

Purple.

Floral, black raspberry coulis aromatics. Suggestions of Andes mint, earth/meat and a medicinal nuance too.

Round and dense/grainy in the mouth. Raspberry and earth/medicinal flavors ride through slightly chewy mid-palate and finish. Serious Grenache. From a 60 year-old, sandy, vineyard. I'd guess there is some Syrah in this.

Day 2 - Andes Mint, front and center, on the nose. Really deep and layered in the mouth. Strawberry a flavor addition. Slight saline character contributes to grainy, concentrated impression. This is a stupid buy in serious Australian Grenache.
