1998 Clarendon Hills Grenache Kangarilla

Tasting Note:

The 1998 Grenache Kangarilla Vineyard (which came from a magnum) is also slightly dry and beginning to fade although it is still an enjoyable wine. It offers plenty of pepper kirsch spice box and earth in its full-bodied personality. The tannins are gaining the upper hand in the finish so owners of this cuvee are encouraged to drink up their stash. The lesson with respect to these Clarendon Hills Grenaches is to drink them during their first 6-8 years of life. Source: Wine Advocate
