Jammy dark currants and cassis, plum concentrate, juicy raspberry, licorice, game, sanguine, and balsamic vinegar. Tart on palate, highly acidic with smooth integrated tannins. 13.5%. Great value for the price. Not rustic at all.

Really a smooth Madiran. The Tannat is perfect here. Black and deep, this is a meaty number with a plummy side and a soft smoky adumbration that echoes through the thick but supple middle. #Tannat#Madiran

Tannat (80%)/Cabernet Franc (20%) blend. Deep purple color. Dark black fruit aromas and flavors. Hints of smoke and oak. Just a bit of a green note but it incorporates beautifully. Nicely structured, as the Tannat was not over extracted. Tannins are present but not overly grippy. Alcohol is also reasonable at 13.5%. Give this one a bit of a decant. This wine has benefited from aging. Thank You Ron B. Revisited in January 2023. Above notes still apply. Hint of menthol on the finish.

This was a gift left by the booze fairy. I had previous vintages of this and this is significantly better than years prior. Much more balanced with tannat's signature tannins instead of light and fruit forward.
