2022 Mystery McLaren Vale Grenache Deal No. 52

94 POINTS

Huon Hooke - The Real Review

Brilliant, electric purple colour; the aromas leap from the glass with pepper, clove and other fragrant spices amongst the dark-fruit aromas. The wine is medium-full bodied and well endowed with cleansing tannins and deep flavour. A superb Grenache that drinks well now and will richly reward keeping

Ned Goodwin - Halliday's Wine Companion

The highest, coolest and arguably the most famous site for grenache in the Vale. Old, dry-grown bush vines. Thirst-slaking tannins bridge the attack and a chewy, ferrous finish, the framework in which blood plum, bergamot, kirsch, dried thyme and lilac carouse. I'd like a bit more stuffing to this; more mid-palate density. Yet there is plenty of energy suffused with nourishing tannins and drinkability in spades. Lots to like.
