Note di degustazione
With a medium density of garnet color, the 2010 Mourvedre Old Garden is evolving into a meat and earth-laced bake berry and preserved plum character with nuances of new leather and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers plenty of earthy/savory flavor with a firm backbone of chewy tannins and a good, long finish.

Rowland Flat. Mourvèdre planted in 1853, yielding 25-45 hl/ha. Remontage, some whole bunch. 100% new French oak for 18-22 months. TA 5.21 g/l, pH 3.72, RS 0.6 g/l. Very distinctive nose: leathery, almost a note of rubber at first though it blows off to something more meaty. The most wonderful texture. Really savoury and refined and not overwhelmed by the oak, though there's sweet spice. Rich but seems to be effortlessly so, as if it would not be tiring to drink. (JH)
Lurid ruby-red. Heady aromas of dark berry liqueur, incense and potpourri. Sweet black raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors show impressive depth and energy, with a sexy floral pastille nuance emerging with air. Spice and mineral notes build on a long, juicy finish shaped by youthfully firm tannins. Extremely young and in need of patience.
