Alkina 'Polygon No 3' Grenache 2023

Linear, cool and pure. That was my impression of this when tasted recently (March 2025). 80% wholebunch which disappears silently into the night, leaving behind subtle structure behind a supremely elegant and seamless wine. There is so much to examine here: Aperol aperitivo, a piece of thyme in your cola, dehydrated red berry fruit, some orange peel. So much detail in one glass and finished by super-fine yet deceptively grippy tannin. – Ches Cook, FWC.
