Full bodied and tannic, this tasted of damsons but as it developed revealed spicy black chocolate with a silky texture. Polished, integrated and very complex, the finish was excellent. Tannat is not my favourite grape, but this has tamed its worst excesses and gets a thumbs up. CHP 91 pts

Ready to drink but can be saved for a couple of more years. Still high acidity but now balanced with the Tannat tannins and a full round body. Worked very well with a beef tender loin sandwich with roquefort hollandaise

To young still, heavy and nice but to high acidity and the acidity dominates the after taste, some tannat tannins but not that much. Ate it to beef steak and potatoe gratin which worked well

Chocolatey and liquorice nose. Dark fruit, grippy tannin and a hint of mint.
