Looks like Nerello and Mourvèdre had some fun together. More extracted than expected but still clarity and precision

Second mistake opening of the week! Turns out to be single bottle from a vertical of six vintage from JR! So now there are five vintages left. But what a wine! Subdued on opening but bloomed over the next hour. Beautiful deep mature floral notes in old forest with herbs and spices and yet a lively almost light texture on palate with long finish. Yum. What a vertical tasting to be! ‘02, ‘06-07-08-10.

So much potential .. beautiful, integrate fruit and roses initially, with nice balance, but then an musty(?), slightly tannic finish. The musty thing is holding it back - is this cork taint or a storage problem or just age?
