Jul 28th, 2018This opened up the longer it sat out. Very good wine. Barnyard funk nose. Definitely tasted the Mourvèdre in this blend.

Oct 23rd, 2016Quite an interesting wine, very murky to the eye to start with, but once it had aired itself it was on a completely different level, complex flavours accompanied by a smooth taste, fantastic & could not recommend enough!
