Decanted and tasted over two hours. Tight with great minerality to start, opened up into red fruit tasting and lilac nose. Well structured, great mouthfeel. Could use more time in the bottle to reach its peak

Last tasted 2/13. This bottle was opened earlier in the day, 5-8 hours prior.
A little more savory development in the interval. Needs more time. This is going to be awesome in 3-5 years. A buddy has a case and last night's handshake confirms my access over the years to come.

Surprisingly polished for 100% Mourvèdre. Very expressive and a pleasure to drink.

Last one, still drinking well. Bramble and meat.

Popped and poured. Showed very similar to my previous bottle. I have some left to retaste later tonight. Will update this note if anything changes.
