Scoring 92 points from WIne Enthusiast, this blend of Tannat and Cabernet Sauvignon is very similiar to drinking full-bodied Bordeaux.

Not to mention the ability to age for 10+ years.

Vinification

The grapes producing this wine are grown on a terroir that is geologically unique to Madiran, ancient gravelly-clay soils which favour water drainage. These soils are predominately found midway up the appellation’s very steep slopes and express classic Madiran at its most noble. An oceanic, temperate climate with mild winters and hot, stormy summers.
