2023 Brecon Reserve Mourvèdre (New release)
Of the three types of déjà vu, we got you covered on at least two; déjà vécu (already experienced) and déjà senti (already felt). Mourvèdre, by the way, has been the backbone of many collectible Rhône wines for centuries. That's why it always has that certain familiarity. In Paso, it also shines with dark enigmatic fruit, rich mouthfeel and beguiling color, as well as more customary warmth and earthy forest floor aromatics. Consequently at Brecon we put it front and center on the label, whereas in its native France it’s just not done! Interestingly, occasional déjà vu is very common and not a cause for concern. However, perhaps you should consider speaking with a neurologist if you experience déjà vu frequently (e.g., multiple times a day)!
