  Similar notes to the last bottle. Needs a decant. Better on day 2.

  Bought a case of this in April 2020, drank a bunch, and then lost track of it in the sea of pandemic purchases. It’s a little less angular and spiky now than I remember, but still very fresh and vibrant, with some violets on the nose, crunchy purple fruit, and a lot of dynamism on the palate. Not the most complex of the D&R Mourvèdres, but it wasn’t trying to be. Eminently “quaffable” or “crushable,” depending on your generation, I guess. No sign of decline.

  Lovely, crushable classic D&R, with savory grilled herbs, juicy plums and cranberries, and friendly and lightly rustic tannins. Just a touch cloudy which detracts slgihtly from the experience, and lacks the precision,focus and complexity of Hardy’s other wines. Could use a standup for several days and a decant. You can recognize the lineage from here to the EDWC mourvedres, but it’s a bit like the juvenilia of a master - admirable on its own, but a work in progress compared to what is to come.

  By the bottle at the HUB at Weston Playhouse in Weston, VT. Nose is juicy, crunchy and black-fruited. Vague notes of crushed rocks. Palate is slightly more red-fruited, bright ripe cherries, crunchy juicy blackberries, lifted, slightly floral, great acidity, slightly dusty finish but no real tannins (!) Love this wine. Great choice with pheasant pate charcuterie.
