  September 3, 2023 - Always a treat to open one of Harvy's wines. This Mouvedre was drinking well with fully integrated plummy fruit, but lacked a bit of the 'wow factor' that I get from some D&R offerings. I'd say drink in the near-term.

  May 15, 2021 - Now that we're having friends over again, I opened our first magnums in over a year. This was fantastic in large format. As if fun was liquefied...Crisp and energetic, lightly red fruited, fresh, delicious.

  NOSE: red-fruited and floral; "zesty"
  
  BODY: light body.
  
  TASTE: strong raspberry note; light oak; non-descript floral or powdery aspect; high acidity; very pleasant and light-on-its feet. Could be used in place of Pinot Noir for food-matching purposes.

  March 6, 2020 - Light to medium ruby red. Layered nose with rhubarb, branches, bramble berries, anise and minerality. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Fresh palate with black bramble berries, crushed gravel, a little graphite and some spices. Even a hint creamy at the start of the long finish with great acidity carrying through. Drink till 2026.
