This wine is showing a brown core and a tawny rim, looks like it is getting OTH. Smell does have some maderized notes in the midst of the black cherry fruit and animal/earthy notes. The mouthfeel shows nicely balanced tannins and acidity, with a med+ finish. Drink now through 2019.

Decanted for an hour, not ready yet. After 3 more hours, nose of bright cherries, menthol. In the mouth, cherries again as the main theme. Nutmeg and a hint of smoke play supporting roles. Wine is smooth and velvety without any hard edges at age 9.

Mourvèdre typicity, moderate intensity and smoothed out over time. Good balance. Great wine with a grilled steak.

At the end of its window, but still very good. Drink it now.

Cold cellared and drinking well. Nicely balanced and refined. Quite impressive.
