Je pourrais décrire cette bouteille comme une main de fer dans gant de velour, à la 1ere lampée le vin semble sévère mais il s’ouvre en bouche avec des touches de fumée, poivrée, herbacé, cassis c’est quand me complexe, velouté, belle acidité qui garde tout en place. In a great place right now! — 4 years ago

Good Pomerol from one of the appellation’s largest estates, with around 12 hectares on the southern part of the Pomerol plateau, in an area known for its iron-rich clay subsoils. Known locally as “crasse de fer” or iron dirt, this type of subsoils have a high content of iron-oxide, which gives Pomerol wines their characteristic aromatic richness. It was also the inspiration for the estate’s name (“taille fer” translates to “carve the iron”). 81% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Franc, aged for 12 months in oak barrel (40% new). Aromas of dark fruit, plums, chocolate and earthy notes. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated. Noticeable tannins. — 4 years ago

Powerful, yet in a light way. Nicely fruity (black currant, plum), some good body, and iron minerality. — 4 years ago

One of absolute favorite wines right now. The Granache is blended beautifully with Syrah and Mourvèdre to bring out the absolute best of each - dark fruit but not too sweet, dried raspberry and slight spice... aroma is out of this world, eyes rolling-back in your head bouquet leads to complex and balanced on the tongue with smooth tannins without losing body, and a beautiful, supple finish. Yum. This southern France style blend should hold up another few of years. Thankfully we have another bottle to lay down!! — 8 years ago
Balanced and good grip. Clearly getting there. Might last another year or two but won’t improve beyond that. — 8 years ago

[80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon] definitely some Brett in this one, but not over the top for me, fruit is still fresh, structure suggests this is mature, very good balance and length, long finish. For those highly intolerant of Brett, you probably won’t like this as much as I did. — 6 months ago
