Grey Sands The Mattock Dry Red 2014
An elegant, supple Right Bank blend whose fragrant bouquet of sweet raspberries, cherries, cassis and tight-grained cedar/vanilla oak overlies a hint of spearmint and menthol. It’s finely crafted, with a delightful length of pristine berry/cherry/plum, flavour underpinned by a firmish, drying spine of silky tannins, culminating in a lingering finish of lively acidity and a suggestion of menthol. Very finely balanced; for the longer term.

Grey Sands
Grey Sands is a 3.5 ha vineyard of no less than 17 close-planted varieties, at 8800 vines per hectare. I have no doubt that this is one of the most significant sites in Tasmania, and over the years I have given high ratings indeed to its Pinot Gris, Merlot and The Mattock (merlot-driven right bank Bordeaux blend). A recent revisit of some mature wines has given me plenty of reason to include Grey Sands' Pinot Noir as a benchmark of this variety, especially when given 5-8 years of cellar life. The wines are not only especially affordable in this crazy market but are also released in most cases with genuine bottle age. I'm a huge fan, especially of the finesse and structure of the reds. Adding to all this is a recent Malbec tasting that took me straight to Cahors. Wonderful stuff! No wines were made in 2020 due to poor conditions.
