Langmeil Winery Rough Diamond Grenache Blend 2021

G 93

Medium-deep crimson. A generous and full-flavoured Grenache with intense musky plum, strawberry, redcurrant aromas with herb garden notes. Lovely ripe musky plum, strawberry fruit flavours and fine slinky textures on show with impressive mid-palate richness and fresh long acidity before finishing chalky with plentiful sweet fruits. A delicious early drinking style. Now-2028 Eperosa Grenache Mataro 2020 G 93 Medium light crimson. Fragrant and sweet red cherry, redcurrant, strawberry aromas with Campari-Negroni-like complexity. Seductive red cherry stone, Campari, strawberry flavours, fine bittersweet textures, very good mid-palate richness and integrated fresh acidity. A hint of tar. Quite pinot noir-like with a whip of acidity at the finish. Now-2026 Hutton Vale Farm Grenache Mataro 2018 G 93 Medium-deep colour. Developed bottle-aged wine with evolved red plum, raspberry, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate aromas in a bold, open-knit style. Generous and supple with plentiful plum, raspberry fruits, tobacco mocha notes before finishing firm and minerally long. Now-soon Teusner Wines Joshua Grenache Mataro Shiraz 2021 G 93 Deeply coloured and flavoured, this is a hearty, punchy, and concentrated version of GSM with sweet oak also prominent in the mix. It opens with tarrry, blueberry fruits with a touch of peppery spice. A chunky palate follows, with a platform of dense tannins well supported by ripe, fleshy fruits. Great upfront impact and also decent length make this another crowd pleaser. 2024-2029
