This dark coloured and robust wine from Tannat and a complement of Cabernet is full of good stuff; savoury fruit, minerals, depth, fresh acidity and unobtrusively firm structure but is a little shy aromatically. I think that decanting would have been beneficial at this stage and am confident that a few more years will let it sing. Good now with + potential.

Red plum, bacon, violets, tar, dry brush on the nose, On the palate a square dose of aromatic fruit, furry tannins, crisp acid backing. Envigorating and inspiring. Authentic and honest. 50 + 17 + 17 + 9 = 93.
