"Tir na N’og, an Irish term meaning “land of the youth,” has produced a blockbuster 2004 Grenache Old Vines boasting beautiful sweet black raspberry and cherry fruit intermixed with notions of flowers, licorice, and pepper. The wine is full-bodied with fabulous fruit purity, an expansive, opulent texture, and a whoppingly long finish. In spite of its richness, purity, and size, it possesses remarkable elegance. Drink it over the next 7-8 years." 92 pts, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct. 2006.

"Medium red. Floral, spicy aromas of raspberry, rhubarb and strawberry. Elegant and silky, showing excellent purity of red fruit flavor. Lush, sweet and suave on the finish, which is all about red berry fruits, with gentle tannins providing focus. (The Australian Premium Wine Collection, www.tapwc.com.au) 90 points."
