3h air, given the varietal. Offers red plum, pepper, leather, chocolate, cinnamon and wet rocks. Medium bodied, satin texture, but broad, rustic tannins which slightly overpower the wine itself. Red fruit and earth on the palate, with a spiciness to the finish.

Very Good+. This was back to the form described in my Aug. 2020 TN. Great pairing with cassoulet. Ripe, sure, but nice balance and showing a pleasing spicy edge. This would also work with grilled burgers - anywhere you want a riper with with deep fruit, but not too extracted and modest tannins.
Really nice QPR ~$15 some years ago. 14% abv

Great combination of the ripe, deep Tannat fruit and herbaceousness and mint. Warmth of fruit and a coolness of character makes this nice at the table. It would pair with a wide range of dishes. Tannins are getting well integrated. This may be near peak, but would go out several more years, I think. Really nice QPR - picked up a couple in the upper-teens and a couple at close out $11 USD.

★★★★ Une belle découverte! Ce vin est une belle découverte. Je ne me souviens plus comment j'ai mis la main sur cette bouteille, mais je dois dire que j'ai bien fait. Une belle gamme de saveur nous force à en redemander et nous passons rapidement au travers de la bouteille. Oh yeah!
