Monday, June 13, 2016 - Opened yesterday, save the remainder glass for today. Last night, I recall it as juicy, with some red fruited acidity and resolved palate. Tonight, the aromatics suggest Rhone, throwing off a whiff of saddle leather. The fruit shows a lot of dark-tinged raspberry tonight, with a tang that was similar to yesterday, too. The same sweet leather follows into the palate, then the juicy cherry note I mentioned from yesterday. For me, there isn't a lot of structure here, as this is leaning towards the more gentle, juicy side of things. This is my only bottle and given where the wine is right now, I'm glad I opened it. There is enough acidity here that the wine should endure longer but I don't find much tannin. My advice then is get after it and enjoy the tangy, Mourvedre goodness.
