Bonny Doon vineyard has gone in search of something unusual from France, and found it in this dark, seriously tannic Tannat-based Madiran. Heart of Darkness certainly describes the almost black color, but in fact the fruit is fresher than with many Madirans, and the tannins are beginning to soften. This wine is more than a curiosity, and gives a fine glimpse of this under-rated red wine area in the south-west of France.
