Drinking perfectly now! So interesting at this phase that Mourvedre is the main wine, but flavor-wise, it is grenache that is dominating on the palate.

The cork was completely crumbled on this bottle. But still sealed with no leakage along the side of the cork. A bit brickish on the color. Not as crisp and fresh as I would have liked for a 2010 TCV out of a 1.5L. Clearly Mourvedre based. Good but not fabulous GSM. I have one more bottle to sample. Stay tuned.

Lovely wine that paired well with elk meatballs with homemade tomato sauce.
