The first words to be spoken after a quaf and a soif: I love you. Harmonious and heartfelt, truly.

This has really settled into a groove over time and was in a great place.

Great raspberry Grenache fruit, layered, feminine and complex - but most of all this is balanced. I rarely drink Grenache that is this complete without feeling the oomph of high ABV. It's a marvel, and worth noting this has developed (in a positive way) with a little extra time in the bottle.

Roses and raspberries. Showing a touch of oxidation. Tastes like a raspberry cordial; very silky and feminine. Yum!

2011 changed in the glass from toasted coconuts-lime sherbet to caramel bananas-a bit sweet but opened into something irresistible w pork neck

Straight out the bottle- Nose has a very attractive red cherry and berry fruit character more towards cherry pie than fresh cherries, light touch of cinnamon and wet rosebud. In the mouth, though light in body the mid palate has some serious depth and there's a great cut of acidity through sweet (though not jammy) redcurrant and spiced raspberry fruit. After a few hours in the decanter Wild strawberry starts coming to the fore along with touches of black olive. In the mouth there is more grip on the attack and that red fruit has firmed up and become more concentrated. Length is decent and more savoury than earlier with a very refreshing finish. By no means a shouty take on Grenache this is honest, elegant and lives up to its name and Angela's ethos. It's a nourishing wine that is all too easy to drink, the fruit is incredibly attractive and almost belie's the wines formidable structure. Understated and one of the best 100% Grenache wines that I can remember drinking. 94+pts (good short to medium term ageing potential, come back in 5 years)
