This tannat cabernet shows deep rubi color with still some slim violet nuances albeit the aging. The 2 years in oak barrels plus another 4 in bottle before release was a little too optimistic. I guess it didn't have what it takes to survive this long and another 2 years later it lacks body and structure. It is pleasant and the fruit is still there but I'd say it's past it's best.
