Had this last night, and was quite impressed. Compared to the Vielles Vignes, it is more concentrated, more 'serious', with the light oak touch adding structure and texture. Very smooth on the medium to full bodied palate, with the fruit almost taking a backseat to the game and herb notes. The mourvedre in this blend adds a 'bass' note and increases complexity. Ready to drink now, but I think this could improve and last quite a while. Impressive (A-)
