Good and welcoming, dark fruited, spice and with a round yet firm core of fruit. On the fuller scale of things , decent power and tannin but also with a softness and elegance. Solid 90 and definitely would benefit from more ageing

Needs to open up, its straight from the cellar, but. With. A bit of air and proper zalto ... we get what’s needed... pepper, liquorice, not much fruit but it smells nice and smooth, spicy, palate is refined and elegant, nice sour bits, soft and balanced... not used enough to those pure or almost pure Mourvèdre wines... very nice indeed

Dark ruby red. Developed and earthy aromas with forest floor and old leather (shoes). Rustique, with plenty of tannins. Good stuff!

@ Grand Hyatt Steakhouse in Hong Kong
Dark brooding ox blood
Meaty, sweet plums, musty wet wool
Dry. Well balanced. Medium finish. Earthy undertones
Very good wine for the price point
