  3 years since my last sound bottle, and this is singing. Stemmy funk married to bright cranberry fruit, black pepper, clay-like minerals and tangy acid. Shapeshifter of a finish that morphs from cran-raspberry to rose to orange and bay leaf, before returning to bright red fruit - but it goes on for 25 or thirty seconds.

  So fruity and fun to drink. Still hanging around, vibrant fruit acid, some gamey notes in there.

  Mourvèdre d'altitude vinifié en partie en grappes entières.
  Le vin sera carafé une heure.
  
  Robe sombre mais translucide, brillante.
  Aromatique discrète à l'ouverture qui s'ouvre sur les petits fruits rouges, la prune, à l'aération des notes épicées apparaissent.
  
  Ce n'est pas un vin qui en met plein les gencives, il y a une structure, des tanins mais fins. On n'est pas non plus dans le glouglou, c'est presque sérieux, avec une belle verticalité. La bouteille a vraiment gagné à l'aération, se montrant de plus en plus expressive et définie avec des notes florales qui apparaissent. Très jolie interprétation du cépage qui pourra se garder pas mal d'années. C'est un vin plutôt fait pour la table, j'ai beaucoup aimé.

  Gorgeous on the first night Decanted for about an hour, the wine’s red fruit personality showed beautifully. Not a full blown carbonic wallop, but a really fresh and elegant fruit in the nose. Very easy to drink. On night two the wine retreats a bit. More elegant/serious, less gregarious and fruit forward. The last glass, on night three, was a little tired.
