Concentrated and serious, but still a rustic, tough driller of a Tannat. Smells like wild herbs, plum and lemony oak, then it's tight and tannic in the mouth. Tastes minerally and bricky, with black cherry, lemon drop and bitter chocolate. Crusty on the finish, where the oak is pronounced. Needs food; might soften in a few years.
