Swinney - Mourvèdre 2023 [95 Punkte Parker]

Exklusiv in Deutschland bei WineDreams - Life is too short to drink bad wine

Swinney - Mourvèdre 2023:

Leuchtendes Magenta mit violetten Reflexen. Ein ausgeprägter eisenhaltiger Charakter in der Nase, mit Szechuan-Pfeffer, wilden roten und schwarzen Früchten mit einem Hauch von Veilchen. Am Gaumen ist er mittelkräftig mit charakteristischen Pflaumen, Gewürzen und Eisenspänen. Schöne Ausgewogenheit mit geschmeidigen Tanninen und einem feinknochigen, strukturellen Abgang.

"The 2023 Mourvèdre is a masterclass in elegance: here, we have silty tannins, crushed rocks and spices, dried herbs, sumac, pomegranate and ferrous notes. This is lingering still, and I have more to write without tasting it yet again. The tannins feel smashed into the fruit, pulverized, obliterated within it, and they linger long after the wine has left the mouth. It is chewy, ashy, floral and distinct—super, what a treat. Varietal Mourvèdre can be a wonderful thing, as this is. It was produced with 30% whole bunches, fermented with wild yeast and spent 11 days on the skins prior to pressing to fine-grained, large-format French oak for 11 months of élevage. 13.7% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." - Wine Advocate

"A very fine example of the variety – deeply flavoured, touched with floral and game meat aspects, distinctly herbal and savoury and yet imbued with pitch-black berry fruitiness. It's svelte in the palate, almost a pinosity but for the variety's somewhat gruff exterior and tendency to earthiness and dusty tannins. Beautifully balanced and epic in drinking." - Mike Bennie

95 points - Ray Jordan, Business News

“Yet another remarkable Rhone variety expressed perfectly from Frankland River. The aim appears to have been to present this as true a reflection of the vineyard as possible. It’s from bush vines and then a combination of whole bunches to build structure, wild fermentation to build texture and then finishing off for 11 months on lees in older French oak. It all contributes to a beautifully expressive wine capturing the distinctive ferrous regionality and the soft supple fruit of the variety with a little dried herb and sage bush lift.” 95 points
