this blend of 39% mourvèdre, 31% grenache, 21% syrah and 9% durif shows black-plum pastry notes on the nose as well as crushed asphalt, dried rose petals and smoked pork. a line of graphite minerality grabs the palate first, then comes dark red and olallieberry fruit that are lifted by notes of lilac, lavender and potpourri, followed by grippy tannins that entertain the mouth for awhile.
