Supple, fresh, textural.
Made from 60% Tannat and 40% Cabernet Franc, which come from 40-50 year old vines on a 22-hectare site in the southernmost part of the Madiran appellation.
Expect wonderful aromas of smoked black cherries and black licorice, cassis and mocha lead to a more restrained palate; spice and cocoa lead to a textural palate. Overall, good balance, attractive chewy mouthfeel and notable freshness.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper

Supple, chewy, earthy.
Made from 60% Tannat and 40% Cabernet Franc, which come from 40-50 year old vines on a 22-hectare site in the southernmost part of the Madiran appellation.
Notes of chocolate and leather, cassis, spice, graphite tobacco and leather roll into a supple and earthy palate. Molasses, soy sauce and dried fruit flavours dominate, alluding to its age, and the tannins are firm and powdery thanks to the Tannat, and they add chewiness. Overall, good complexity.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper
