Still lots of ripe, rich, black fruit. A pleasant surprise for 9 years old!

Almost like they tried to hide the real Mourvedre character to make it more palatable, but if I get a Mourvedre I want earth and character

Love the color of this wine...it's black/red. Okay and raw with a light toast, vanilla and black currants. Spice on the back end.
