This is a top-of-the-line “statement” wine, and though this type of product often leaves me cold, I certainly found it easy to warm to this terrific rendition. The blend is 50% Tannat, 30% Merlot and 20% Tempranillo, and with airing one can find notable traces of each of those varieties in the aromas and flavors. Dark and extracted, with a serious lashing of oak and a tight, grippy finish, this is certainly a wine for the cellar, but just as certainly a winner for the future.
