Interesting blend of 50% tannat and 50% merlot (causing it to be down-classified out of the tannat AOC). I think this blend has more depth of flavor and roundness than the last true tannat that I had, showing lots of lush black fruits and good depth. Certainly great QPR in that $20 range.

Great QPR on this gem. There is plenty of black fruit along with tertiary notes reflecting bottle age. The tannins are silky and the finish is smooth and long. Drinking great now and could go a few more years in the cellar. Happy to have a few more bottles.

Purple blackish opaque color. Dark fruits, plum, and herbs on nose. Dusty, smokey, dark fruits, plum taste. Full body. Can drink now. I expect it will improve over the next few years. My score is based on wine now.
