Syrah & Mourvedre
13.5% abv
France
Opened the bottle last night and had a glass with dinner. The taste was okay, the nose very nice, but I was too tired to do a wine review. The taste was simple and boring and I did not even finish the glass. So, I capped the bottle and here I am today doing the review today.
Appearance: deep garnet
Aroma: black cherry, dark currants, herbal-spice note
Flavors: Much better today. Firm earthy quality, nice dark berry blend, nice touch of sweet black cherry, pleasing spice. As I focus on the spice I notice a touch of thyme and white pepper. On my second glass there is a good smoky note hitting the nose and this transfers to the taste.
Mouthfeel: firm, jammy at times, smooth overall, tannins under control, nice acidic structure,
My Strength Rating: 7 – very tasty, on the second day, firm and thick texture for a good medium-full mouthfeel.
If you get this bottle, decant it for at least 20 minutes to get the flavors to open up.
