Medium to light red, faint purple. More floral scented nose, but nothing great. Palate far superior: smooth, rich, supple and rounded; silky texture, voluptuous, unctuous wine; utterly delish! Gorgeous flavour and texture, balance and length. This is top mataro! Rip-snorter! Possibly the best I've seen under this label. Dark fruits, spices and herbs flecked with dark chocolate.

The 2007 Mourvedre Old Garden was sourced from a vineyard originally planted in 1853. Dark ruby-colored, it displays a perfume of damp earth, underbrush, smoke, mocha, and blueberry. Smooth-textured, layered, and potentially complex, this balanced, structured wine will evolve for several years and offer a drinking window extending from 2012 to 2022.
