title: Cirillo 2005 1850 Old Vine Grenache (Barossa Valley)
description: As might be expected, this has some familial similarities with the 2004 version (also reviewed this issue). It's full-bodied and dark-fruited, but the acids are brighter and the mouthfeel less luxurious, ending on a crisp note. Give it another year or two in the bottle to see if it develops more lushness.
variety: Grenache
designation: 1850 Old Vine
