Grenache 2004 - Marathon Deal #61645

Blewitt Springs' famed sandy soils have gone and produced another masterpiece. When people talk about Australia’s greatest grenaches, this is the yardstick. A single-vineyard number that defines what power and patience can do when they’re perfectly in sync. Even with serious time in bottle, it’s still absolutely humming - dark, almost opaque purple in the glass, with that deep blue-fruited core that feels eternal. Plum, raspberry and liquorice lead the charge, with layers of spice, char, cedar and earth rolling in behind. There’s richness, sure, but also poise - fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity and a finish that just refuses to fade. This is the kind of wine that reminds you why certain producers sit at the top of the Aussie pile. It’s expressive, detailed and built to go the distance, and it has! No more patience required, this one's ready to pour it whenever you want to impress.
