| 75 | | | 93 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Not a bunch of Aussie motor oil, nor “too thick,” this rich, abundant Old Vines Grenache supplies plenty of fruit and power but with the added benefit of balance, so that it can take up the cause of well-seasoned foods. Celtic for “Land of the Eternally Young,” “Tir na N’Og is a full-bodied Old Vines Grenache that shows abundant dark fruits on the aromas, followed by firm-tannin-framed rich dark fruits. A burst of spice and dark fruits shapes the lingering finish. Make sure not to serve this too warm, as the alcohol is substantial, but doesn’t show if the tasting temperature is cool, about 65ºF/15ºC. Serve in tall tulip-shaped large red wine glasses with these foods: Smoked meats; rich stews and braised meats; roasted vegetables with garlic and olive oil; well-seasoned legume dishes with tomato and garlic; grilled or braised veal steak with mushrooms and veal jus; grilled or stewed lamb; roasted Cornish hen brushed with melted dark fruit jam and some of the wine; roast duck; grilled ham steak or roast ham.
