TN: 2003 Henschke Johann's Garden Grenache

This is the best Grenache blended wine I have ever had. Period.I usually avoid this blend, but was wowed with this bottling. Dark concentrated crimson color. Amazing floral elements on the nose, slight chocolate as well. The palate opened to reveal a wonderful 'tight rope trick' of smooth cherry fruit, with an amazing level of tannins. This went on and on. I can't find the correct words for this, and that must be a good thing. Sublime elegance.

The tables WOTN.95/100
