  • Friends brought this to our 4/26/19 Wine & Pizza get together. It had a very funky, and earthy nose of earth, tree bark, black cherry, plum, blackberry and spice aromas. The palate was rich, layered and tangy with flavors that followed the nose. My score was 90+. Our groups average score was 90.1.

  • last of case, drunk at picnic @ about 58-60 degrees F

    Cooler worked remarkably well; juicy tannins, dark fruit with plenty of spice. This has improved steadily since first tasting, suggesting 5-6 years is its sweet spot

  • To the nose, equal parts blackberry, plum and black cherry but not fruit forward - more of a limited band. Slight oak and vegetal fragrance. On the palate, same fruit. Slight smoke and vanilla, plus slight cinnamon. Tannins apparent. Slight minerality - not limestone or wet cement, but like a rock. Medium-thin mouthfeel with short length. After 20-30 minutes it starts to open up. Will finish tonight and update if different. Nice to try mourvedre outside of a Rhone blend, but clearly it benefits from grenache and syrah as friends.

  • Blended with 15% Syrah. Impressively tasty, with savory and smoky notes. 14.8% ABV, yet seemingly no heat. Drank best during the first hour.
    90+
    Update: Still drinking shockingly well two nights later, after having sat at room temperature, vacuum corked, with with less than 4 oz left.
    90-91

  • Steadily improving, especially with a touch more air. will see if day 2 re-inforces this impression

    Second day; would lift this to 90+ ; delicious, ripe with that M hardness underlying to make it a little challenging
