Dark red. It is an amazingly tannic wine yet beautifully balanced. Good length with frisky acidity. After some serious coaxing, we found the tightly knit yet beautiful Tannat-fruit-ball that's ever so slowly beginning to open up.
Would love to drink this again in 10, 15, 20 and 25 years' time.

Most red wines would be a good match with flank steak, roast potatoes, blue cheese butter and chimichurri, which is what we had. No surprise there.
On the back label it was recommended to pair the wine with game and red meat (obviously), but also with chocolate. So we tried that after dinner, and it was sensational. The sweetness of the chocolate made the cherry notes in the wine really come forward. Try it!

Folder Wijnkoperij Henri Bloem: "De mooiste wijn van Bouscassé, gepolijste tannines met finesse. De kracht is zeer mooi onder controle met een indrukwekkende frisheid in de finale. Mooi schoon fruit, iets van mint en het onmiskenbare terroir. Compact en vol karakter, kan moeiteloos rijpen en zal over zo’n 20 jaar wijngeschiedenis schrijven. 100% Tannat van stokken die minimaal 50 jaar oud zijn. (drinken: 2017-2032)"

We decanted it for just under 7 hours.

Worth waiting for.
Blackberry, blueberry, hint of oak.
Soft tannins.
I like wines just before peak. Thats now, 11 years later.

@Brumont tasting, Stockholm
Fudge like nose, some hints of mint (After Eight) on the palate, good length.
