TN: Hewitson 'Old Gardne Vineyard' Mourvedre 2019

G'day

Second bottle from a six, and the first in some time. Decanted immediately before service. 14% alcohol. The bottle is a similar weight to a bowling pin.

Purple black in colour. A powerful nose, with lots of blueberry, cloves, vanilla, and a moderate amount of red berries. The palate is medium to full bodied, but with some restraint or elegance. There's more blue and black berries, and a level of viscosity across the tongue. Tannins are furry on the gums. A long finish, again with some finesse.

A reasonably big wine, but not in the same way as some Barossan shiraz. No rush to drink - these will last a while.

Cheers
Allan
