Stellar aged Tannat which could pass for older Bordeaux. Graphite and leather and dried cherries.

Tanino espetacular, mas melhoraria muito em alguns anos. Uma explosão de especiarias e cereja.

Pomegranate, cedar, cobwebs, vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, cotton, tar, iron, macerated strawberries, menthol. Tastes more herbal than it smells - rosemary, basil, chalk, sand. It is full, smooth, and acidic. Very complex. Sell to a Boudreaux drinker.
