clean medium dark ruby. Classy Mourvedre nose showed medium intensity and was actually rather mature. tannin medium, acidity medium. Should hold a few more years but I’m questioning my current drinking window (I have a bottle waiting for 2029)
89-90pts,

This is my 10th bottle. In an absolute sense it's got a lot of generic dark fruit notes, and a little jammy. It lacks the complexity and finish to be a serious wine, but (as others have said) for $12 or so it's a bargain.
For whatever reason, the alcohol bite was much more apparent on this bottle (it's 14.5%). I don't know if that's age or bottle variation, but I don't recall noticing it before.

Day 1: Juicy straight forward wine with cherry, plums, mild spices and coffee beans. A simple but enjoyable wine. 86 points Day 2: Similar with a little more spice element. Very fruit forward wine with cherry, plums and strawberry. Short finish. Crowd pleaser but lacks complexity to be 90 or higher. 85 points Day 3: Probably the best of the 3 days. More earth components featuring floral, minerals and earth. Nice fruit and better overall. 87 points Recommendation: For $11 a great QPR!

Rpe, deep, dark fruit jam with some savoury, spicy, herbal and chewiness. Seems to pack a lot into a modestly price wine, though the overall flavour profile is not fully resonating for me (I suspect this is personal, and still much I do like about the wine).

Holding up well from the last drinking. Opens nicely after about 30 mins. Smooth and rich but quite medium-light in body.
