Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,575 g – too heavy! Grapes sorted individually. Aged for 24 months in new oak. Recommended with lièvre à la royale . Probably understandably. Very dark purplish crimson. Unexpectedly fresh nose that's actually quite complex. Lots of fine tannin on the finish but very ripe, voluptuous fruit that one suspects showcases Tannat at its most opulent. Soy sauce note – I could imagine dribbling this over sushi. Probably the most sophisticated Tannat one could imagine – though not ready yet. (JR)
