2002 Greenock Creek Cornerstone Grenache


A dinner of braised lamb neck (sounds fancy but not really, looked a lot like stew to me). The drink. Purchased from Purple Palate for $32. The nose is a chocolate bar wrapped in dirt, or should that be earth. Lovely aged qualities. On the palate, the fruit is dissappearing, the tannins are gone but there is still a hint of spice to finish. Grenache is a favourite of ours, the challenge is finding a straight grenache and a good one at that. This is one of them. 89/100, excellent drinking. Buy again - yes if we could.
