Decanted 1/2 hour before serving. Poured into two glasses, dark red color nearly opaque. Nose spicy with some dark fruit. Nothing that "pops" here though, expect more from a Mourvedre based wine. Taste some "mud" and decent tannins but high alcohol. 2nd glass, wine was getting a wee bit tired with just slight VA. This wine is OK, maybe better with some food vs no food. Burgers or a pizza would service this fine. Drink up.

The color is a very dry medium ruby in the glass. The nose evolves wildly as the wine opens, with primary aromas of blackberry and cocoa, alongside old parchment and fennel bulb. The palate is surprisingly fruit-driven with clear cherry notes alongside more blackberry and light tobacco. The tannins are very well integrated with medium acidity and a medium+ body. Drink now.

exceptionally dark and rich, strong fruit needs time to air and mellow. Could benefit from some angularity in structure.
