Went terrific with roast beef. Tasted October 2014.
The 2010 Grant Burge ‘The Holy Trinity’ wine is sourced from 50 to 120 year old Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre vines in 38-36-26 % proportions that were aged in French Oak for a total of 18 months prior to bottling. It has intense aromas of green pepper, stems, dates on the nose and red currant, dates and yogurty plums on the palate. It is medium bodied, extra-dry, fruity wine; with forward acidity, refined tannins (decant between 1-2 hours) and a long finish. Enjoy with food; drink 2014/15-2018+. My impression: NICE, 89 pts. Tasted Dec/13.

Nose seems closed, but showed smoky, black & red fruits. Palate is medium-bodied with spicy, red fruits, sour cherry, and black cherry flavours. Nice acids, along with balanced, integrated tannins. Long, smooth finish. Tasted Feb/2014.
