62% Syrah 23% Mourvedre 15% Grenache. Velvet fabrics, cigar, and leather couches. Dark bramble fruit swim soft on the palate, and open up with dashes of black and white pepper, savory herb, to finish with firm tannins and notes of licorice. Can still improve with time. An excellent pairing with fatty game or bird, e.g. duck. Score 94.
