@Peter van den Besselaar 👍Great vintage, great producer, great terroir. Should live for a while as well. Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice to know...
So I'll start digging out my remaining bottles.

Thought this was going to have more punch to it. Might have kept it too long but it wasn’t browning or any lightness in color. Just a bit flat. — 7 months ago

Mataro 2015
A bright ruby red. Black and blue fruits, Five spice and a tarry note. My last of 6 - and possibly the best. See my Delectable note in April 2022 for the first of 6. I am always in admiration of Andrew Caillard MW and his multiple talents when I look at this label which he painted. A beautiful expression of old vine Barossa Mataro (Mourvèdre). — 9 months ago
@Jan de Weerd Interesting Jan. I think that Mourvèdre vineyard of the Hewitsons is one of the oldest plantings of Mourvèdre in the world if not THE oldest in the world.
Indeed! We met with Dean. Here is his story exposing the oldest Mourvèdre vineyard in the world: https://youtu.be/E6TB_Fdkqko?si=s9UIVFc3Uax72XA_
Thanks for sending that clip Jan. A fascinating story isn’t it. A special piece of vinous history and the wine is special.

Vintage 2015 | Finally. The wine awakens from a dormant period. Beautiful fruit - morello cherries - and a vibrant taste. Second day, paired with venison ragout: mocca, chocolate and autumn forrest @Bob McDonald you were right 🫶 — 2 months ago
