  Tasted from magnum that was decanted for 2 hours. Garnet colored with no signs of bricking. Aromas of dark fruit, blueberries and blackberries. Medium mouth feel with soft tannins that integrate well with the low acid level. Light flavors of herbs, dark fruit and licorice. A good long finish. Paired well with a pork roast. This wine still has good life left in it and will stay viable for another 5-8 years.

  Just a fabulous wine! Opened simultaneously with the 2011. Tasted with a large group of wine drinkers! We all went back and forth on which one was better. Bottom line--both great, drinking really well right now, and it boils down to personal preference, but can't go wrong!

  70% Mourvèdre is the dominant component. It can age further. Faint bricking on the edges. Moderately spicy, chocolatey nose. I like the tannins just the way they feel now, with some resistance but getting resolved. Mid-weight, very smooth, complex but less-than-articulate palate mixes mint, cocoa and mild paprika/chorizo with blackberry-cherry compote, fig, and dry savory herb. Lingering tannins elevate the package considerably. Another two years to bring it all into focus?

  Outstanding. Drank beautifully with only a brief time open and expanded further with air. These always need at least a decade to show well and this clearly could have gone another 10-15 years. Exotic spice, plum, baking spice, this shows depth of fruit, meaty even, but it surprisingly racy. Such a nice pairing with a Moroccan braised lamb neck dish. (The lamb was sourced from Tablas Creek!)
  
  14.5% abv. Not even a trace of heat here.
  
  (Natural cork in perfect condition, very little seepage, 1-2mm)
