"This blend of Tannat with the two Cabernets is still young and displays plenty of firm tannins. Wood aging has added spice to this blackberry-flavored wine, with its rich texture and hint of acidity. It needs further aging, so drink it from 2021 onwards." (Wine Enthusiast 2019). Forget it in the cellar, and enjoy it fully in 1 or 2 years!

A serious estate. Airy black fruit on the nose. Structured and full-bodied on the palate.
