A house favorite, Mourvèdre provides plenty of tannin, black cherry, garigue, well integrated, powerful but balanced, hints of 4-EP Brett on palate but acceptable because the wine is so good

Stinky nose that blew off in a short time revealing depth and broad, dark flavors. Great with our ribeye.

Squid ink. Surprising salinity and a tiny bit of brett, but just enough to give it that medicinal glycerol quality. A huge contrast from the Burgundies earlier tonight. Sagey garrigue. Confected undertone is out of place on this palate, but not surprising given the age, but good with food.
