TN: Langmeil 5th wave Grenache '01

[Mishy]

2001 Langmeil Grenache 5th Wave - Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia (10/25/2004)
15.5 % Alc
Wow, I was bang-on on this wine ! Scary.
It's a seductress in the plastic Brittany Spears category, and somewhat cheap and slutty by nature, yet I can't help but stare and appreciate it in it's an absurd and overwhelming awe.
Flashy with ripe raspberry and blackberry fruit, somewhat sweetish cocoa/hot-hearts spice, yet extremely solid in structure - one must extremely transgress the classics to honestly appreciate this wine.
Chocolate and red candy nibs, or dark cocoa and red licorice in heaping nasty preportions......a long and 'bitch'n' warm finish..........and I feel kinda dirty, but I like it.
Not a huge ager, but it can probably keep positively for 2-3 years with the minimal acid.
I confess I really (expletive) enjoyed it, in spite of itself.....on it's own.
Saucy !
No food pairings suggested, except hard, mild cheeses for balance.
Cheers,
Mishy
