Very opaque deep purple color. Aromas dominated by savory notes, bacon fat, black pepper, campfire smoke, graphite. Palate has some beautiful stewed black plum notes, tobacco, black licorice, lots of woody and earth notes. Med plus tannin, med plus body, medium acid, nice lengthy finish, medium complexity. For tannat being such a notoriously tannic grape, this was a very approachable version, the tannins are nicely integrated and enjoyable to drink after a few hours of decanting, with or without food

Dark fruit, dark chocolate, and a spice note that I cant put my finger on. This was my first Tannat and for its reputation of being so highly tannic this was very approachable and enjoyable, not at all overly tannic but very nicely integrated. Good acidity and a full silky mouthfeel.

Tannic but approachable with moderate fruit and finish. Excellent QPR!
