(2011) A lot more new oak in this 100% Tannat, aged for around 14 - 18 months. The vines come from three parcels, aged between 35 and 80 years old. >From limestone and clay soils, there's a bloody, almost ferrous concentration here, a real impression of thick, meaty black fruit. The palate has delicious richness and a big, meaty, blood-streaked density of fruit. This is a massive wine, the fleshy texture and the ripeness all-embracing over those huge tannins and gripping acidity.
