Wendouree survey (Chicago, IL): A bit light on its feed, with sweeter red fruit here. Not quite as elegant as the best examples tonight, in that it feels a little clunky with the tannins, but certainly clean and bright. A slight feral tone here, likely thanks to the mourvedre.

Pale to medium ruby in the glass. Lovely red and plum fruit driven aroma with some liquorice and menthol. Upon tasting it is immediately evident that this is a wine of high calibre; beautifully smooth, fantastic balance of fruit and savoury elements. Seductive and elegant front and middle palate with a long finish showing some chewy tannins and cedar wood. Drinking well already but expect further benefits from more patient cellaring (it was my last)!

It is really starting to hit its straps now and has opened up beautifully. Lovely concentrated fruits, spice notes from the Mataro. Very balanced wine, with the slight hint of tannin with superb length on the finish. An excellent bottle. It requires a good decant, it has a very heavy sediment/crust.

Well balanced, smooth and yet still bold.
In a really nice place now.

Deliciously round and full, reckon more room in it yet. Berries, slightly floral lift to the end
