Drink 2025–2048
I won't re-review this 2023 High Sands Grenache, as I have only just published its score and note at the end of May 2025, but for the purpose of context in this vertical of 2012–2024, the wine exudes all the fragrant perfume of the 2023 vintage. I like the 2023s more and more, and I find them to be fine, firm, fragrant and finessed. What I will say is that perhaps I undercooked the potential drinking window, which via this vertical has now revealed itself to be around the 30-year mark. This, in the trio of cold vintages (2011, 2017, 2023), is my preferred vintage by a margin. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
