Clarendon Hills Romas Grenache(2002)

The 2002 Grenache Romas Vineyard has an inky/purple color more akin to Syrah than Grenache. Exhibiting the essence of blackberry liqueur, it is just beginning to reveal secondary nuances (Asian spices, figs, and licorice). Full-bodied and powerful, with an unreal finish, it will be at its peak between 2006-2016.

The 2002 Grenache Old Vines Romas Vineyard's saturated ruby/purple color is followed by a superb bouquet of black fruits, truffles, Asian spices, figs, and licorice. Powerful, rich, and upfront, this layered, intensely concentrated Grenache can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years. Roman Bratasiuk is one of Planet Earth's greatest winemakers, and obviously a top-notch viticulturist given his obsession with sourcing extraordinary fruit from ancient McLaren Vale vineyards. -Wine Advocate
