Past due according to most reviews, but I must have been very lucky with this last bottle. Inky, dark fruits, fully resolved tannins balancing things out. It’s delicious. It accompanied a robust meal of gnocchi, sausage, peppers and onions, and it’s rounding out a little bit of 85% dark chocolate very nicely.

Sold as a top mature example. Perhaps a little too mature! (First bottle was corked). Dark ripe berries, integrated dusty tannins, touches of dry spice, char, earth and oak but all a bit too elegant and faded aunt-like. Enjoyable enough - but I suspect would have peaked at the 6-8yr window rather than now. In decline. Drink up soon.

Big inky Tannat. Still youthful looking. Nose is ink cartridges and blackcurrant leaves, taste, inky dark fruited wine. Light tannins but they are pretty resolved. If you like tannat this is a good example. A big monolithic red.
