Feels like 120 grit sandpaper with all that tannin. Very good, but a beast of a wine.

Dark purple hue. Black fruit and plum, obvious tannins but not harsh. Can certainly taste the bitterness of the tannat.
Personally my kind of wine.

Needs time to breath but opened into plum and blackberry. Great foil for food. Less tannic than expected.
