Blend of old Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre has a lovely, intense nose of spices, black pepper5 & dark berries with meaty, licorice, black cherry & smoky mineral, plus hints of violets adding further complexity. On the structured, medium-full bodied palate it is very ripe with black & blueberry, smoky mineral, black pepper spice, black raspberry, and licorice flavours supported by ripe, fine-grained tannins and juicy, well-balanced acidity. Slightly chalky on the mid-palate and beautifully balanced throughout with lovely flavour replays lingering on the long, smoky mineral finish. Tasted Jan/2022.

I first had this bottle two years ago and thought it needed some more bottle time even though it was drinking well then. 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre.

Medium minus aromas of Black fruits, dried herbs, game, espresso, menthol, and raspberry sauce. Medium flavours of blackberry, dried herbs, baked plum, and a long coffee finish. This was much different with a longer finish than before.- March 2024
