Soooo much potential. Way too young and a little bit numb at the moment but hints of those complex old mouvèdre scents are just starting to develop. Not her greatest year but still far from its peak. Keep for at least another 10-12 years before opening. Glad I have quite a few cases of this in hibernation. — 8 years ago
Soft, elegant and lovely fruit. It’s not Mourvèdre exclusively, only 15% of that. 50% Syrah, 35% Grenache. Really good. Thanks to my brother for this. Finishing it while listening to Handel’s Messiah. Nice evening — a year ago

This is right up my Grenache-happy alley. First off, what a vibrant purply color! Very pure kirsch and dark raspberry fruit on the nose, complicated by a teensy bretty/farmyard note. On the palate, it’s very youthful and vigorous, maybe even a little rustically angular. The minerality is textural here. Like there are nano-particles of rock dust in the wine. Very good flavor intensity. The acids are lowish, but the rocky minerality compensates. Only 13% stated alcohol! Superb value, and very food flexible (like many Grenaches). — 8 days ago
