Pirate Cru Wines IMP's Mataro 2016

 

When seeking some inner pleasure, this is a great wine to turn to. So often Cabernet and Shiraz get that privilege yet this Mataro fills the brief admirably.

Frolic about in generous and dense fruit. Meaty with pan juices, the fruit comes off Survivor vines, that is, 70+ years of age. Seeing three and a half years in seasoned French and American oak, it is attractively packaged in a heavy bottle with an etched label. Ribbons of licorice thread their way through the mouth with dark chocolate in hot pursuit. I keep coming back to the great weight and width. A soft wash of fine spices urge you to come back for more, and it's not hard to mind you. Drink this with Polish wedding sausage - don't knock it until you've tried it).

Drink to eight years+
