2002 Craneford Grenache

[Drew]

I was getting ready to trash the empty bottle the other day when I read the winemaker's TN which I share with you for chuckles sake.

"The exceptional fruit of this vintage is imbued with the age gathered characters of raspberry and Maraschino Cherry on a formidable, dense palate hosting insistent whorls of blackberry, mulberry and forest fruits.

It's black/violet cadences are testament to an enriched, compelling body and a rich fragrant nose of ripe fruit and piquant berries.

An exciting, assured Grenache to be indulged with a choice of Peking duck, mature cheeses or steak."
