Score 93/100 · Drink 2028-2035, Angus Hughson, Vinous, Jun 2023

This 2021 The Steading, a Grenache blend made with fruit from vines averaging 70 years of age, is very attractive and well-made with energetic aromas of black cherry, spice, new leather and dried herbs. The 2021 is well composed, with an initial impact of primary dark cherry and spice before more meaty and earthy tones emerge. It is tight right now, but a lingering finish and strong seam of fine tannins suggest it will flower beautifully in bottle.

The 2021 The Steading is incredibly sweet on the nose: summer raspberries, blood plums, black cherry, licorice, star anise, some cardamom and chewing tobacco. This offers insane value for money, at around $40AUD, but then, I feel like it has been that price for at least a decade, so it has been an insane value for a long time. This is reliable, delicious, complex, plush/generous and, through the lens of this lovely cool vintage, a superstar. The best yet.
