Force Majeure Parvata 2017

Rich, dense magenta tinge with a brooding intensity. The nose is marked by by tones of Andes chocolate mints, cherry Pop Tart, and meaty blackberry cordial, which may seem like an unusual combination, but is actually a clever stability of sweet and savory flavors. The mouthfeel is refined and dry, with firm, full tannins that linger on the finish. The wine is a blend of 43% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 5% Counoise, and 4% Cinsault. It's a complex, full-bodied wine with a long finish.

Robust and textured wine with a deep, mellow texture. The core is a bold purple-black hue, gradually giving way to a rich, maroon rim. The aromas are alluring, with undertones of stewed black plums, blueberry compote, caramel, lilacs, and soy sauce, all mingling together in a savory and umami-rich bouquet. The palate is full-bodied and racy, with a savory framework of teriyaki beef, black licorice, tar, and toasted oak, consistent by a sweet and ripe tannin finish. The crispness is beautifully balanced, adding a bracing touch to the as a whole experience. Overall, a truly amazing wine with a rich and contenting character.

Complex nose that lingers, with a lush tapestry of blackberry and earthy accents that unfold on the palate, accompanied by a firm tannic composition and a sharp, acidic bite.
