#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Beautiful nose of raspberries, cherries, currants, plums, licorice, chocolates, herbs, spices, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, light oak, licorice, chocolates, herbs, spices, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, coffee and black pepper.

Long finish with round tannins and cherries.

This 22 year old Mourvèdre from Bandol still feels fresh and engaging. Elegant, and starting to peak now. Well balanced and rich. Spicy and entertaining.

A gorgeous wine that will continue to drink nicely in the next 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle and a great sipping wine. Fruit forward, complex and interesting.

A blend of 90% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache. Aged in large French oak barrels for 20 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

Pretty color of peach.

Fresh nose of red fruits with citrus and herbs.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice complexity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, citrus, apples, sea salt, grapefruits, herbs and spices.

Tangy finish with limes and light almonds.

Elegant and fruit forward. Soft and smooth. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Good by itself or with food.

Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years, and see how it evolves.

A blend of 65% Mourvèdre and 35% Cinsault. Aged for 6 months in stainless steel vats.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

In a dumb phase. Delicious and feminine turned earthy and funky. Best of both worlds! — 6 years ago
