Dark berries in a fairly aromatic bouquet with some earthy impressions as well. On the palate dark berries, a lot of acidity and sticky tannin. Good length and a mouth full. Will probably improve with another 5+ years of cellaring. 87 - 88

Dense, rustic Madiran wine, a blend of 85 percent Tannat and 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for fourteen months in 225-litre barriques. Very dark black-red in color and a rather shy nose revealing some scents of sour cherry, dried figs and a touch of leather. The full-bodied palate shows lots of stewed red and black fruit, quite resolved tannins, but the wine is missing elegance and depth. Reasonable finish with a little bitterness.
Dichte, rustieke Madiran-wijn, een blend van 85 percent Tannat en 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, die veertien maanden rijpte in barriques van 225 liter. Zeer donker zwartrood van kleur en een vrij bescheiden neus met wat aroma’s van zure kers, gedroogde vijgen en een vleugje leder. Een volle wijn met veel gestoofd rood en zwart fruit, vrij versmolten tannines, maar de wijn mist elegantie en diepgang. Redelijke afdronk met wat bittertoetsen.

A balanced wine, with very high tannins but soft, high alcohol and good acidity. Not very complex. Black fruit aromas and flavors
