Not bad, but could've used another year or two of bottle age. The nose and palate were both rather muted at first but after being open for a couple of hours, some nice quaffs of dark, brambly fruit emerged, along with some whiffs of chocolate. Like I said before, some more bottle age probably would have revealed more of this wine's chatacter, but I think I still prefer warm climate expressions of mourvèdre to cool. 100% Mourvèdre. 9/15/22.
