"Driven by an intense and enticing nose of black fruits, pepper, and coffee, this 100% Mourvèdre reveals a fluid, fresh palate structured by silky tannins. Still carrying the beautiful promise of its youth, this great gastronomic wine with persistent finish will benefit from being decanted 2 to 3 hours before serving to fully unveil its subtlety! Peak drinking window around 2030."
