From 100% old vine, Mourvedre, the wine is incredibly dark in color. The nose, with its spicy melange of black fruits, flowers and herbs gets the wine going. On the palate, the wine is rich, fat, deep, concentrated and lushly textured. Still young, this should be better in 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 more years as it has the stuffing to last. With a production of only 300 cases, if this is a wine you want to cellar, grab a few bottles now, because sooner or later, it will be close to impossible to find.

Mas de Boislauzon is usually better with at least 5-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 5-25 years after the vintage.
