I followed a Dumol Finn Pinot with this and was blown away by how it matched it despite switching from a clear Pinot profile to Mourvèdre. Clear light purple, the expressive nose was roasted meat and spice, with some forest floor and dark fruits. The body had lots of round dark fruit and resolved tannins, well balanced with a long finish. Lovely wine.

Started slowly but opened up, balanced, lots of fruit, smooth tannins, medium bodied but light on it’s feet, great structure, complex flavors, long finish, drank easily for a big wine, I admit to being a bit intimidated by the price and reviews but ultimately a very nice wine, drank with strip steak, would drink again but pricey but quality.

Blackberry cobbler nose. Black cherry, blueberry, dark plum, and finely ground black pepper. Finishes with a great silky mouthfeel, fresh cherry and raspberry fruit.

Nice enough, but I'm not sure where the high scores come from. This is fine, but rather generic and uninteresting and certainly not worth the price point.

Spicy, herbaceous aromas with plums, cured meat and black cherries. Complex and subtle on the palate with a delicate interplay of plum, cherry, pomegranate, lavender, cured meat, leather and herbes de Provence. Some spice and pepper. Very long and complex with great structure. Good acidity and well-integrated but distinct tannin. Excellent.

Good, but didn't strike me as the best vintage of this wine. A little thin and less intense than I expect. I'm a little surprised by the professional rating on this one.

A little smoky and too light for my taste

Amazing wine! Beautiful balance of red and blue fruit with a hint of pepper. Not tannic at all, extremely smooth mouthfeel. Wish I had more.
