Succulent notes of smoky plums, marionberries, figs, and camphor with perhaps more ethereal notes of incense, iron, and game. Given the nose, one expects this Langedoc blend of Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan to be big-boned and brawny on the palate—it comes across as mid-weight, a good thing, I think, tempered by a healthy of hit of spice on the finish, cracked black pepper, followed by an alluring green note, bay leaf, and dried rosemary. 15.0% ABV | Sample
