Swinney Farvie Grenache 2022

Swinney Farvie Grenache 2022

Grenache | West Australia, Australia

Freshness, delicacy and transparency all the way. Perfumed and floral with fine tannins incorporating a layer of stalk tannin. Tea and fresh blood orange on a core of vibrant blue fruits, with a savoury element, a little quality reduction. An exceptional example of grape first Grenache. A tiny splash of just 4% Mourvèdre in the mix here.Halliday 96 points Jukes 19+ Jordam 98

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2022

Pinot Noir | Morey-Saint-Denis, Burgundy

There is an interesting hint of smoked meat character to the spicy plum, newly turned earth and softly floral-scented nose. Once again there is an appealing texture to the broad-shouldered and muscular flavors that possess fine volume before concluding in a very firmly structured and impressively long finale. This too could use better depth but this should make for impressive old bones if given a chance. (from a .32 ha parcel) 2037+Allen Meadows, Burghound (93-95) Points
