"Magnum. Mid ruby. Lightly gamey/animal on the nose (that's Mourvèdre for you!). Smoky, black olives (honest - not just the Provençal connection). Very sweet and round. Great joy to taste a mature vintage of this famously tight, concentrated wine. Very warm and tarry with masses of sweet fruit too. Lots of fun but definitely evolved."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
