Deep purple. Wow.we are really in the farmyard!! I love this smelly nose,typical mouvedre and possibly my favourite nose of the night!! Black fruits and spice on palate,which perhaps is not so impressive as nose.Nice wine though which will no doubt age well. Very Good.

Blind tasted with short ribs at a dinner party, layers of dark fruit, cassis and mocha. Fat, rich typical Laurent style. Ripe tannins with a slight peppery finish.

This is the third bottle we've tasted, one was flawed, but the other two were rich, fat mourvedre. Typical Laurent style, lots of oak with layers of fruit, best when decanted. Almost California style with seemingly elevated alcohol and fruit ripeness.

This was BAD and hot when we had it, nothing interesting. I remembered it to be good from our first bottle and bought some more. Put this away for a number of years. Hopefully it was a bad bottle.

Wonderful aged Rhone blend. Soft spiciness on the palate and great mouthfeel. Marvellous with food.

Gruner and Mourvedre lunch with David Burkit (Bathers Pavillion): a bit closed, oak more evident
soft, tasty but lacking complexity and presence, gamey
