Vintage 2007 | 95% tannat 5% cabernet franc brown Italian rooftiles in colour, deep dark. Scent you have to conquer, not so easy. After some time I detected Mon Cherie: cherries and chocolate. Later also spicyness. Much character: juicy and pleasant when first in the mouth, but also much tannins. Fifteen years old but can easily be stashed away for five years. Ideal wine for people with a cellar and the rest to wait. Love it.

Always one my my favorites, Tannats like these are reason enough to lay down a bottle for 10 years.

(***) rich, minty bouquet laced into powerful black currants; smooth and strong, like silk-coated anchor rope.
