Generous, dark and intense. Cab, mourvèdre and syrah. Barrel tannins a bit distracting right now.

Very impressed. Medium body, earth, spice dark fruits and still some great acidity.

What a pleasure this 50/40/10 Cab/Mourvedre/Syrah blend is! Vivid red fruits with earthy undertone, sprinkled with wood spices, fig, and incense. Integrated oak, medium-high acidity and solid tannins with penetrating power. Matured in French oak barrel for 16 months, about 1/3 new. I think Mourvedre really stands out in this bottle.

My first bottle from Lebanon.

Dark fruit and leather on the nose. Medium to full body with dark berry and plum notes. Grippy tannins.
