  Decanted and immediately enticing on the nose, reminiscent of a top Chateauneuf with vivid dark fruit shot through with sunny herbs and a tarry minerality. Over the next three-plus hours the nose gained an animale note, more complexity and detail of fruit, and a tobacco kind of sense to the minerality that reminded me of some right bank Bdx wines. It took time in the decanter, but the mourvedre did assert itself, and it's a unique wine, in my estimation. Silky and fine on the palate, perfectly balanced at 14%, and highly expressive. Wonderful wine.

  Plum, iron, some spice, blood orange peel, fine tannins (mostly resolved) and a nice bit of acidity. Dried flowers, and powdery rock dust to the long finish. Will hold, but excellent now.

  Lovely dark stewed fruits, but still some freshness, some garrigue, soft and smooth overall, tannins well integrated, with a little tang finish. Really nice, good place, if not super expressive. Torigoya yakitori place w/ HEBJ.
