Aromas of mixed red fruit, a bit of oak/spice and a bit of black licorice. The palate has red/black cherries/blackberries, again a bit of oak, and dark floral notes. I agree the mourvedre seems to drive this even though it is a minority of the blend. Fully mature with integrated medium acid/light tannins; drink now.

Never would I have guessed holding on to this bottle until now would yield such nice wine. Dark cherry pie fruit, earthy notes, long dark fruit finish with not a hint of anything too old like woody or cedar notes. Super smooth tannins but you barely know its there. It taste like the Mourvedre is out front even thought its only 18%.

Good. Lithe, lean, dry. Some licorice. Tasted at winery 12/14. Syrah, Grenache Noir, Mourvedre, counoise.
