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.

Crisp, citrus mix of tangerine and lemon, creamy and smooth, paired very nicely with a simple Branzino prepared in olive oil, lemon, and salt. — 2 days ago
