  It pours a translucent dark ruby color with expansive aromas of dark berries, violets, roasted meat, dried herbs balsamic and mint a bit of balsamic mint. On the palate, it’s on the lighter side of medium bodied, structured, and harmonious with juicy acidity and fine grained well-integrated tannins. It shows juicy blackberry,red currant, ripe boysenberry flavors with a very appealing minerality, and satisfying finish. 13.5% abv. Gorgeous wine that's in a great place now!

  "Flank & Plank" night with plank salmon and flank steak. This wine paired nicely with the salmon with the red fruits, light spices and low tannins.

  This is really starting to show well, starting to show some secondary characteristics (*). This is very well balanced with a tension between vibrancy and crunchy and dark red fruits and higher register herbal notes and mint vs. the subtle gamey qualities and dark chocolate with dusty earth.
  
  I wish I had more of this, because I think this is going to also be interesting in five years. I think the CT drinking window to 2022 is too narrow for well-stored bottles. If you've got a few, pop one open soon and see what you think, as it is drinking beautifully now.
  
  * Kept since purchase in 2013 in good, but not ideal conditions. Always dark, but temperatures ranging seasonally from the mid-50s to mid-upper-60s F. So the aging here should be a bit accelerated vs. an ideal 55F cellar.

  I now see why Mouvedre is the heart and soul of the Panopali and Espri. This is a great wine . Cork was perfectly preserved, like so many TCV wines. Deep red color, no oxidation. Great dark fruit. Long finish. A real keeper.
