Pale ruby red with a distinctive nose that is attributable to the complexity of the parcel selection applied to this wine. With black fruit such as blueberry, blackcurrant, and elderberry, evolving to white flowers, eucalyptus, and vanilla, it is also reminiscent of candied fruit cake. The palate opens cleanly and smoothly with fine, persistent tannins. We find the same black fruit, notably blackcurrant, followed by notes more evocative of the Mediterranean, such as black olive, dill, white pepper, peppermint, and liquorice sticks. The Mourvedre brings its inimitable character to the blend to create a unique wine. 2021 is a magnificent vintage with great ageing potential.
