the 2018 Mourvèdre leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of wild blueberries

racy structure

with a generous core of fruit that's girdled by racy acids and animated by a pillowy mousse

Powerful yet refined

Lacks the structure and nuance of more recent vintages

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Echezeaux other_regions the 2018 Mourvèdre leaps from(from En Orveaux). Generous oak fights with the aromas of spicy pomegranate, cherry and violet. The exceptionally rich, even suave, medium bodied flavors possess very good concentration, power and persistence on the mouth coating and sappy if somewhat sweet finish that I found borderline cloying. I suspect that this will become more interesting with age but for now, its not at the same level as the best of these grands crus.
