Disclaimer - I'm pals with Andy Cook who makes this.
This wine is a single vineyard Grenache Gris and has spent 14 months in oak and has soft woody elements up front with hints of grapefruit pith, some lemon and a little white pepper element mixed with some cedar and just a little undercooked vanilla rice pudding on the aroma. The palate is woody, with a touch of sweet vanilla, some tropical fruit too. A little heat, but no more than you would get from good Burgundy, and then with a lovely minerally, and slightly steely, finish. I think this is cracking. Andy, you have made a goodun!
