Ray Jordan’s review

Oh yes, I love this wine. It has a beautiful perfume and brightness evident on the nose and the palate. This is bush vine mourvedre. The structure and palate poise are exceptional. The rustic edges are slightly knocked off. Meaty chorizo, but it’s subtle. Has a slightly ironstone rusty nail thread running through it with a tense dry tannin feel in the mouth. It was matured in a single 1600-litre vat that has no direct oak impact. The attention to detail is demonstrated by the management of the bush vine canopies, allowing attention to each bunch with the resulting uniformity of fruit. Traces of blue fruits with a subtle licorice and tarry character. Slightly more supple and revealing than the grenache and less open and opulent than the syrah.
