S.C. Pannell Grenache Old McDonald 2020
Red
McLaren Vale, Australia
8.0
WineSaint
Dense and brooding from 78-year-old Blewitt Springs vines. Dark mulberry and cured meat complexity, with graphite minerality and cracked pepper spice building powerfully. Impressive concentration, but the formidable tannins need time to integrate. Built for the cellar. Hold until 2023-2025.
