December 15, 2023 - From 75cl, DIAM5 closure. Two bottles opened on successive evenings, to compare the wine as a P+P and after +24 hours. Hardly any difference. I overrated this tasting at the winery last year. But still, it's a fine value: blackcurrant floating on a rich swell of rustic blackberry/black cherry fruit, heady 15,5% alc., serious tannins providing textural interest towards the finish. If the tannins resolve and all that alcohol doesn't wreck the balance of what remains, this should be better in a year's time. But given sufficient richness/oil in the accompanying food it can be approached now. 88-89P

September 12, 2022 - French road trip, mainly Rhône valley; 9/4/2022-9/18/2022: From open 75cl at Domaine de la Mordorée tasting room. Made entirely in stainless steel, no oak. Startling, intense, fresh-ripe-pure blackcurrant scent; more blackcurrant on the initially smooth, medium-bodied entry, but then WHAM the mid-palate puts up a blocking wall of furry tannins and indicates that this needs a couple of years to settle down. Whopping 15,5% alc., well-handled, but still a bit hot. Sweet, furry-tannic, cassis-like finish. Should be a delicious quaffing wine anytime between 2024-2028, depending how you much grip you prefer. 14,50 EUR at cellar door, currently on 5+1 offer = 12,08 EUR, a bargain. 90P
