Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, South Australia. Grenache. 14.8%. Diam. Approx $A49.Pretty and spiced to begin, before becoming more dusty and lifted. Pepper and berries (crushed and blue), saw dust and a coat of vanilla and warm leather. Something creamy and confection like, though at times a less flattering note of toluene. . . Nothing more and nothing less than I'd expect. Large, warm and soft in the mouth, with more than a hint of Port. There's a redeeming spine of acid, fine, filmy tannins and moderate length. Overall, it's quite convincing. 89-90. Now - 2015.
