A Glug distributed wine again. I had some high hopes for this as it's main fruit is Mourvedre (Mataro), and I really want to see this variety used more, preferably on it's own.
Unfortunately this one just isn't up to the value for money of the other Glugs I've tried. It's a bit thin, lacks any real fruit, not exactly smooth, and well it's just kinda disappointing.* I paid $8 so I don't expect too much, but I'd be asking for a refund if I'd paid the $15.99 Glug are saying it's reduced from.
I've reviewed this alongside Glug's Goat Square Barossa Valley Shiraz Grenache Mataro 2006, check out that review here.

Just had another taste of this from a different bottle. Not sure what's going on but it's definately better than the original bottle I reviewed. It's still not up to par against the Goat, but it is at least showing some fruit and body. Still not a $16 wine, but not unhappy at $8 like I was with the last bottle.
