- Tasting Notes - 2006 ( notes )
The parcels were evening picked & fermented in open concrete vats with daily hand plunging. The Grenache component which provides the sweet front palate, was matured in older oak barriques to maintain fresh varietal characters of rose petal, raspberry & subtle spice.
The famously tannic Tannat, which supplies the power & weight in the middle, was seasoned in 2 year old American hogsheads. It imparts violets, fejoia and stewed quince on the bouquet, with the palate delivering sage, anise & cigar box flavours, whilst the Shiraz, which was French Oak matured, adds chocolate , Satsuma plum & pepper in addition to backbone & length of flavour.
Please double decant & enjoy with ox-tail, paella, chateaubriand, schweinshaxe, soft blue vein cheese or a rich dish.
