A blend of 60% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is a dark and inky red in color. Some plum and black cherry on the nose, but a little flat. On the palate it is very well-balanced (if a bit hollow) — strong tannins but also fruity with some plum, blueberry, and dark currant and some black olive

- Madiran's can be rich and chunky and full of black fruit. This has that character but is much more lively than the typical tannic Madiran. The 20% of each Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon certainly contributes to this. Fresh on the palate.
