Community Tasting Note

Mrbuzz Likes this wine:

Sunday, May 29, 2016 - Dinner at Trelio (Clovis Ca.): (mag) 93% Mourvedre, 5% Grenache, 2% Grenache Blanc....opened in bottle for 8hrs.....DARK beast of a wine at first.....black coffee, cassis, blackberries....not as concentrated on the fruit as I thought it would be...really good dose of acidity really livens it.This gained and gained as the night went on....became richer and deeper in flavor...even brighter to the cherry side....but still this is a massive Mourvedre that shouldn't be touched for 10+ years.....still quite a treat to taste! Creme de cassis, black raspberry jam, scorched earth, exotic spice, licorice, tilled flower field.....maybe just a tad bit of forest floor...couldn't really find something screaming Mourvedre. Intrigued to try it again...as well as other efforts in the future....just wish it wasn't SO crazy $$$!
