Classic McLaren Grenache 'La Testa' 1998 --RP 91 750ml
| "The dark ruby-colored 1998 Grenache La Testa (150 cases from 5-60-year old vines that yielded an average of 1.5 tons of fruit per acre) exhibits a knock-out nose of sweet vanillin intermixed with jammy black raspberries and kirsch. Deep, pure, expansive, and fleshy, this is a hedonistic wine to drink over the next decade.
According to the importer, Dan "Makin' Bacon" Philips*, owner/winemaker Tony De Lisio is one of his "greatest discoveries," and "an amazing winemaking talent." Based on this wine, can there be any disagreement?" Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, February 2000. | |
