What to Expect

Tannat is a grape most frequently associated with the Madiran region of France, though it has become increasingly successful in South America, particularly Uruguay. It produces a rich, rustic wine with considerable tannins and a smoky, spicy character that adds complexity to its deep tones of black raspberry fruit.

Roaring nose of red fruits, dampen earth, cassis, tree bark and some saucisson. Lovely inviting nose. The palate is packed with rich, ripe fruit with a lovely earthy sweetness and a full mouthfeel but the tannins of the usually irascible Irouleguy are kept in check and this is about as soft as Irouleguy gets. The tannins are there, grainy and forceful but don't eliminate the other parts of the wine in a wall of tannin. Lovely lovely stuff and some I will buy for the cellar. Can't have all German Riesling ya know. (http://rockssandfruit.blogspot.com/2008/07/when-feeling-glum-irouleguy-to-rescue.html ).
