Big, bold, in-your-face badass RED. Extracted, juicy, nicely balanced acidity, lots of deep red fruit, blueberry, and earth. A joy to drink this wine, but it needs more time.

Decanted. Medium ruby red color. Somewhat transparent. Nose gives hints of dark red fruit, meat. Nice mouthfeel, with dark cherry, bacon fat, earth and a hint of red candy (likely from the Grenache). Slight hint of heat on finish. Wonderfully balanced wine. Next day update: all traces of heat were gone, and the wine was much more integrated than on day one. A few years in bottle will do this wine well.

Smooth, juicy and delicious. Had a little bricking at the edge, so I'd drink within the next year or so.

A very consistent color, red core to the edges.
The Mourvedre really comes through with blueberry and meaty aromas and flavors. Some spice, strawberry, licorice and mint play in as well.
Very interesting. Good length and balance. Good acidity.
