  Tasted over three days. Hail the dark master. This is immensely concentrated, deep, spice, sweet, rich on tobacco, some kirsch, minerals galore. This will last a long, long time. Revisit in ten years.

  Very complex, still quite primary, blue fruits, some oak, funk, body is thick and potent, very ripe; needs 20 years

  So, this could be one of our wines of the year. Flawless, intense but perfectly balanced.

  Almost opaque in color, the wine is equally dark in its fruit. The wine is not as powerful as expected. Instead you find more aromatics, elegance and precision. Lush, soft and juicy, the dark red fruits olives, spice and raw meat leave an impression that sticks with you. Long, intense and expansive, the feels great as it graces you palate, before leaving you with dark red fruits, olives, peppery spice and barbecue notes. The wine was made from a blend of 85% Mourvedre, 5% Syrah, 5% Grenache and 5% Counoise. As the vines continue aging, there will probably more Mourvedre in the blend in future vintages Even though there is a softness to the tannins, this is not a wine to drink young You will need to lay this down for perhaps 15 years or so, before all the secondary nuances kick in. This is quite close to the level of the mind-blowing, perfect 2016. In the future, this is going to be great to compare them both, similar to the 89 & 90 duo!
