Community Tasting Note

NickA Likes this wine:

Sunday, September 26, 2021 - Tannat made in a Marsala style, then aromatised like a Chinato and aged in French oak for several years. Served blind by the somm to accompany a chocolate dessert, we all agreed this was nothing like any wine we'd tried before - closest relative perhaps being Banyuls.

Intriguing nose that was quite vanilla-dominated, with drinking chocolate, coconut and sweet tobacco. Not as sweet on the palate as you'd expect, with notes of dark chocolate and a well-judged amount of acidity that kicked in towards the finish - a good match, and easy to finish the glass.
