Purplish in color with a reddish rim.
Nice nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Single Vineyard Mourvedre from Bandol is rich and fruit forward. Elegant and easy drinking.
Already delicious, although still very young, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 85% Mourvèdre, with Grenache and Cinsault. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

One of the best CDLR’s in the biz showing beautifully tonight with an ultra complex and seductive bouquet of candied red cherries, rose petals, coffee beans and game meat. The palate is luxuriously silky with obvious grand cru and old vine concentration, particularly for the vintage, and there is beautiful purity and elegance to balance its power. Its spice and mineral inflicted finale just keeps on going. 07 Burgundy are in such a great spot. — a day ago
Must be the Ahi Tuna that elevated the wine 😛 — 21 days ago

Slightly deeper salmon pink, more copper toned . More fruited than the Cristal , more strawberry , raspberry , floral character, limestone hints. On the palate this is rounder and more juicy , fruit driven in style , with strawberry , raspberry and some orange rind . Quite good density and balance . Good red fruited , chalky , finish . This is showing well , quite rounded and inticimg in style , open and generous . This is showing well now and I would imagine it will continue to do so over the next 10 years plus. — 19 days ago
