2020 Sons of Eden Notus Grenache, Barossa Valley

Intense nose with some bright ripe red fruits and kirsch-like notes. Rich on the palate with well-integrated alcohol, bright acidity that cuts through, plus scoops of red fruits sitting in a web of chiffon-like tannins.

Platinum Medal & 97 points decanter.com

A splendid expression showing sweet plum, raspberry, hazelnut, anise and a hint of dried herb nuances. Beautifully weighted and flowing on the palate with silken texture and refine tannins, finishing impressively long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2032

From 100+yo Rowland Flat vines and 90+yo Trial Hill vines. Luminous purple hue. A thrilling young grenache of gorgeous fruit and beautifully eloquent structure. These old vines deliver wonderful life and energy, popping with mulberries, black cherries, satsuma plums and rhubarb, lifted with pristine rose petals. Powder-fine tannins complete a finish of very good – if not outstanding – persistence.

Impressive grenache, combining two southern-Barossa parcels and offering pomegranate, raspberry and a range of fresh plums with plenty of spice. The palate is juicy and intense and has fine, layered tannins with bright, lively acidity. Concentrated and pure. Drink over the next decade. Screw cap.
