Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
The nose, marked at first by a slight reduction, invites decanting to better reveal its aromatic palette.
When aired, it opens up with notes of mocha, roasted coffee and cocoa, enriched by candied prunes, sweet spices and light tobacco, with a touch of roasted black fruit.
On the palate, the attack is supple, supported by a fine structure and harmonious balance.
The character is straightforward and distinctive, and the lingering finish reveals delicious notes of mocha and leather, in a deep, racy style.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
Domain and appellation
-
CAVE DE TAIN
The terroir consists of granite arenas on terraces, under a continental climate with Mediterranean influence.
Hand-harvesting is done at full ripeness. Vinification occurs in concrete tanks at 28–30°C, with gentle extractions (pump-overs, rack-and-returns). After fermentation, tanks are held at 30°C before hot running off and malolactic fermentation in oak.
Ageing lasts 17 months in 228L barrels (15%) and 400L casks, with 30% new oak.
