Wowza, this really over-delivered for $20: inky no sign of age on rim, effusive dark fruit, brooding ripe black & blue berried mingled with spices, cocoa, dried herbs, minerals, hoisin - blind I would have guessed Mourvèdre from Southern France. Great extract & density of flavors on nose & mid palate, cut a broad swath, smooth rich, finely grained tannins balanced seamlessly. Bit less acidity than Mencia from Bierzo, but enough for the smoked ribs devoured alongside this gem. — 5 months ago

Aromas and flavors of dark berries and plums. Hints of dark chocolate, earth and fresh herbs. Good structure with a smooth and silky texture. Great QPR. Enjoyed at the North Shore House Wine Pairing Dinner on June 24, 2020. Wine of the night. — 5 years ago
