Les Oliviers Merlot Mourvèdre 2012
Languedoc, France
Medium Red

Ripe raspberries, strawberries and caramelised plums. Fresh red fruit and rich plums, warm sweet spices, with a hint of liquorice and a lick of tar on the finish. Generous palate weigt with balanced tannins.
Fiona Beckett, The Guardian, Friday 2 November 2012:
Mourvèdre also crops up in Les Oliviers Merlot/Mourvèdre 2011 : a soft, supple red that would rub along with hearty suppers such as lasagna or shepherd's pie; it would also make a cracking party wine!
