Great quality, outstanding value. Elegant dark fruits laced with oak flavours and sweet baking spices (vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon). I felt that the wine has opened up to reveal lots of layers of flavour and interest. Some flavours that come to mind were leather earthiness and a potpourri of flower lightness. Quite fascinating. So while not huge its was a lovely balanced textured wine with a good tannic finish. Still a long life ahead so no rush to open up all your bottles.

Mid ruby appearance, presumably due to the large proportion of Grenache in the blend (around 60%, based on what I've read about this wine before).
Nose: intensely perfumed - raspberry, some blackberry and fig. Lavender, cloves, spices and some herbs.
Palate: medium+ body. Well structured. Fruit is still dominant, needs some more time. The community drinking window looks about right to me (2022-2029). Not overly complex but a well made wine and good value.

I've tried to like this a couple times now. Gave it some age as well. It's not as blazingly alcoholic as it was before, but it's still really flat. I mostly just get faint herbal notes and a reasonably pleasant mouthfeel (like a discount Rifle Range). Maybe just not to my taste. Very sad.

醒酒两个半小时,闻香甜美,奶油,果糖,红黑果,桂皮一类甜香料味,入口酸度中高,单宁紧致,颗粒细腻,酒液咸,收口微甜,碾碎红果,杨梅,沙枣,桂皮,奶油,后段一点点酒精感,余味漂亮果味,香气浓郁复杂,虽然是甜美风格,但有着很好的结构,微氧化风格,我甚至从它身上喝出一些南法范儿,能明显感觉到除了歌海娜以外,穆尔韦德带来的结构感和一点点野性的味道。
