Oct 9th, 2017Earthy minerally sooty savoury notes. The 70% Mourvèdre fruit had lost much of its blackberry fruit from a few years ago. No oak influence being fermented in stainless steel then put into old oak foudres.

Nov 25th, 2016Dark crimson. Notes of ash (tray). Not uncommon for Mourvèdre from this part of the world. I had a Monastrell from Spain earlier this year which was even more ash tray! Spicy with hints of cherry and game. Clean with not a hint of Brett. Ultra savoury. Highly enjoyable.
