Yelland & Papps Devote Old Vine Grenache 2014
800 bottles produced. Just great to see Barossa Grenackers recorded at sub-14%. Bravo.
There's this dark, moist, earthen element here - kinda like a fresh bag of potting mix. Add in kirsch - a good pour - dried florals, and season liberally. No doubting the quality.
Michael Papps has this lightness of hand that he manages to extend to Grenache - an enjoyment of Pinot and Beaujolais no doubt serving well. Squarely medium, a little Russian caravan tea for depth, yet without being over-bearing.
Good length, great booze. 92
