| The explosively perfumed, rich, multidimensional 2002 The Derelict Vineyard Grenache displays a dense ruby/purple-tinged color. This wine, which emerges from old head-pruned vineyards, possesses classic kirsch liqueur notes intermixed with licorice, smoke, spice, and earth. Medium to full-bodied, with a nicely layered mid-palate, loads of fruit, good glycerin, and a succulent finish, this is a delicious Australian red to drink over the next 7-8 years. --Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, October 2004.
