Bondar 'Junto' GSM 2023

Grenache (65%), Shiraz (16%), Mataro (8%), Cinsault (8%), Carignan (3%). 

Frisky red fruited style with a smattering of dried herb and lemon zest. It's light to medium-bodied, strawberry and orange rind, light grip of tannin, kind of edgy in character, though I like the fresh spiced and sappy strawberry thing it offers. There's something like ozone or coal dust in the mix too, and the finish is lively, spicy and red fruited, with a Campari-like bitterness. Fun wine, could take a light chill even. Drink 2024-2029. 91 Points. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
