I agree with other reviews of this wine. Dark fruit with bright acidity and a pleasant finish.

A bit fruity in the front and deep dark in the back. Great sipping wine. Medium bodied and easy. Lingers for a while very pleasantly.

70% Mourvedre, but got more Grenache character.
Without annoying barnyard smell on the nose, there is lovely dark fruit aroma with minerality instead, and some banana cake like finish. Firm tannin and fresh acidity.

Layers of spice and garrigue with plums and dark cherries, a bit of stems? Love it

Second wine from Pibarnon and a stunning effort. Still quite nervous but time will solve this easily. 70% Mourvedre and 30% Syrah

Tasting great now. Needs an hour of air. Earth, moss, blueberry, cherry, trees. Awesome with food.

Medium to dark right to the edge with a nose of darker red fruits, some earth and perhaps a touch of leather.
