Straight from PHX , consumed with a tin of Spanish tuna at Ordinaire, the wine benefitted from a slight chill down from room temp. Funky nose, turned earth, ferral aromas yield to a lovely purity of visne (sour cherry) fruit, still with nice framing tannins. A down to earth wine in many ways ( though increasingly not the price)

Mourvedre cut with syrah. The syrah dominates the nose. Up front it is silky, with dense dark fruit on the attack; but it finishes the opposite: smokey, earthy and tannic: the mourvedre loud and clear.

Again at Ordinaire Again succulent dark fruit, very clean perhaps more tannins but reminds me a bit of last night’s malconsorts, and at a far more advantageous tariff to boot.

Rich, delicious black raspberry fruit with stoney flavors, excellent structure, ample tannins and finish, very dry

深宝石红色,闻香有淡淡的动物皮毛味,沙枣的气息,植物气息和淡淡青椒,山楂李子一类红果香,入口酸度高,酒液咸,单宁紧涩,有点抓人,颗粒倒是很细腻,明显的矿物感,山楂一类的红果,植物根茎,后段还有香料的辛辣感,沙枣味一直贯穿到余味,还有一些紫罗兰和木质香气。微氧化风格的一款酒,集中度漂亮,清晰的结构感,现在喝还有些强壮,可以进一步陈年
