2009 Golden Grove Mourvedre

$28. The wine is comfortingly, familiarly, deliciously reminiscent of vanilla, cinammon, berries and chocolate. Also with ansieed and liorice.  In colour it's purple crimson with a red rim. It's smooth as, with just a little fluff. On the palate it has some velvety length, just enough distance and smooth softness for me, with some depth. . A gorgeous thing. 'Will age for up to ten years'. You can't often catch a mourvedre in Australia, so this is a strange-bird-trail wine in the Granite Belt.
