Some VA, needed a day to blow off. Ripe, extracted, structured. Aromas of red vines, smoke, plum, cedar, black cherry, leather, herbes de provance. Needs more time, I think, or more air to drink now.

Nice fruit laden nose, slightly primary, that developed with air. Some light but firm grip through the finish. Maybe the vineyard (my first experience) but the Mourvèdre was more grapey than my experience with this varietal. My only bottle, wish I had given it another year, maybe two. I think further integration should yield a more enjoyable wine. A bit hard to judge, as it was well made, good balance & structure.

PnP. Nose of wild strawberries, blueberries, and red currant with lots of rustic brush notes. Smooth, polished palate of bright red berry with a little blackberry underpinning, adding light mint, fresh basil and thyme delivered with rolling, peppery acidity. Round, pliable tannins provide some structure with lots of exotic spice, telicherry peppercorns, notes of peach and an earthy finish. Has really come into balance and seems riper than last year's notes. It's a pleasure to drink and didn't last long in the glass!
