This is a bit finer than usual thanks to the relatively dense but fine-grained tannins though I underscore that finer than usual or not

is as good as I think that it is

Again there is mildly exotic element to the otherwise appealingly fresh nose that combines notes of both white and yellow orchard fruit that is liberally laced with iodine and quinine nuances

This is certainly quite ripe but there is good tension and this should amply repay extended cellaring

truffle and soft earth

The wine feels like Port on your palate

has gotten even better with an additional year of bottle age

Very long on the aftertaste

with a beam of fruit persisting on the aftertaste

It is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre (this is sometimes a split of Syrah and Mourvedre) thats aged mostly in 1-2-and 3-year-old

This is also lovely though it too needs to add depth
