Me and my wife relaxing for 2 weeks in South West France - touring through Jurancon, Madiran and Irouleguy.
Visiting Charles Hours, Clos Uroulat
My new love - Tannat grape in combination with the Basque food.

Purchased this one directly from the domaine, moreover, the bottle was signed by Charles Hours himself :-). No wonder it tasted so good. Still very young, but amazing balance of acidity and sweetness, had plenty of it with local cheeses as wel as apple tart. Delicious!!! Although packed with apple, peach flavours, you could feel honey coming. Great future for this wine. Cheers!

Wow! This was so acid, that my whole mouth seemed to shrivel. A bit off balance and needs time, however, am not sure it will loose its greenness and acidity. Could not finish the bottle. Green, green, green!

It was too oxidised for my taste, however, some might like it. I used the remainder for the best ever home made veal stew. Cheers!
