Community Tasting Note

plinymajor Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 10, 2024 - Opened 3 hours in advance. Colour: dark ruby red with some browning on the rim. Initial nose: barnyard, mourvedre funkiness, leather, some dried fruits, but the dried character fades away and gives place to fresher fruit. Later also dried green herbs (peppermint!). On the palate this is really still alive. Fruit (blackberries, cassis) hasn't faded at all and is accompanied by some meat stock, black pepper, mintiness and some ink. Tannin still healthy, med acidity, good length. Amazing how this wine is full of life at 20 yrs. At €29, amazing pqr. Glad I bought some of the younger vintages too, as this wine certainly could be a birth year wine for my godchild (2014) and my own son (2020)...
