Tasting Notes

There's a liquorice rootiness about this nose which is otherwise a touch closed in...although I can clearly make out the elevated Mourvèdre component in the nutty scent. This is a rich wine of nicely fresh tannic structure. A long and really pretty direct thing in the mouth, with high and incisive grip. It's a very mineral wine at the death. A wine of real presence and freshness. And a wine that will be a stunner given a few years in bottle.

"It's rich and concentrated yet silky and lithe, with a fantastically long, elegant finish. 95-97/100." Joe Czerwinski

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
