Wonderful Mourvèdre! Well structured with great depth & concentration with roast meat, violets, spice aromas with plum, mixed black and blueberry, cacao, espresso and spice flavors. Long finish.

The oak took away the brightness but made this more of a crowd pleaser due to its roundness. The Tempier beats this only because I think it’s a better wine with food.

Old-school jammy, if that’s a thing. Some restraint and elegance, but big fruit. This came alive with air. Nice subtleties on the nose - herbs, flowers, dark berries, leather. The palette gained in energy with air, complementing the sharp tannins. Personally I wish I’d given this more time, allowing for the fruit to fade.
