Reviewed September 2023More depth to the purple–crimson colour than Polygon No. 3, and a darker expression on the bouquet and palate alike. Black cherries add a note as do the rolled gold tannins. Overall rich, and velvety in the mouth, its depth, balance and length will give it exceptional longevity.

Wine Advocate
In a year that suffered widespread crop losses, the 2020 Polygon 5 Grenache enjoys the highest yield of its three-year span: 695 bottles. The wine is mineral and restrained, with lashings of red spices—paprika and even cayenne—pomegranate and redcurrant, hints of blood plum and licorice. This is a superstar and a tremendous wine that is improving with age. (EL)

Very good domestic expression. Sweet red fruit and orange pastille a la pinot, mitigated by dried thyme, lavender and a clench of Nebbiolo-like tannins drawing the finish long and taut. Excellent grenache.
