This was the worst example of Mourvedre I've ever experienced. It stank!!! My friends were in agreement that it was not corked, Brett, or any other type of taint. It smelled of wet leaves and green stems. It didn't look like Mourvedre either; more like Gamay or a light Pinot Noir. We sent the bottle back, and the purveyor is planning to return the entire multi-case purchase back to the distributor for a refund or credit.

This wine needed more time to breathe before consuming. Perhaps filtering and airating the wine first.

Tablas Creek Tasting at Chez Mitchell: -- cork pulled approx. 2 hrs. before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over approx. 1 hr. --
NOSE: incredibly "pretty" for a Mourvedre: red licorice and incense, turning to black licorice with extended air exposure; not funky.
BODY: magenta-ruby color of medium depth; medium to medium-full bodied.
TASTE: smooth; hint of back-end funk (not brett); red-fruited; watermelon Jolly Ranger; very light-tasting for Tablas Creek's Mourvedre.
