15% abv. Nose of black olive jumps out on opening. Palate is clumsy: some stewed plums/baked fruit, yet animale (from the 40% Mourvedre?). Then some alcohol burn and rather drying tannins. Not sure this is going in the right direction....

Not for Burgundy fans. Full, fruity,with chocolate from the mourvedre and smooth enough tannins to keep it honest. A lovely rich wine and outstanding QPR.

Not much on the nose, but a powerful, almost sherry like taste, and a very long chocolatey finish. It's not the most subtle wine (15%), but very enjoyable and great value.

Day 2. Took a day to open up. Dark fruit, spice, long. Lovely.

Light red fruit sharp nose. Very powerful and very long. Medicinal, red fruit, sharp, slightly unbalanced, may come together with time.
