I first had the experience you describe here with a Joseph Swan Mourvedre. Everything I knew about Mourvedre up to that point was dark and dense with notes of blood and horse sweat. So I was initially disappointed and eventually transfixed. I called Rod up and begged a case from him, then watched them over several years. Every bottle different as it evolved, and every bottle better than the last. Never had anything else like it, but I've recognized those qualities in your descriptions of this wine. I'm quite envious.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
