In Praise of Shadows 'Komorebi 75' Grenache 2021
$63
The bottle says 13.2% alcohol, the press release says 14%, so I will go with that. This is from the Smart Vineyard in Clarendon, from a block planted in 1971.
Exotic spice and perfume, cherry and raspberry, cocoa, bergamot. It?s medium-bodied, fine and red fruited, with a fine pumice stone feel to tannin, succulence of strawberry and spice, cool acidity, delicate and lacy, all the sweet almond and fine tannin grip on a very long fresh finish. Texture is super, all dusty and brightly lit. So lovely, and beautifully made. 95 points, drink 2024-2030+, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
