Availability

Cost: $18.99-23.99 + taxes USD

Date Tasted: February 23rd, 2018

Tasting Notes: Hailing from the Madiran AOC in South-West France, this blend of 60% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc makes one imagine a mash-up of a youthful, Right Bank Bordeaux with an aged, rustic Rioja; both raw and refined with floral-meaty-pruny characters and tannin to spare. Best to give this eclectic wine more time in the bottle to age and integrate further. Drink 2020-2024.
