It might be considered a Bordeaux only because Bordeaux appellation does include within the grape varieties Tannat and Syrah but we know that very little producers use those varieties. Its nose is predominantly Cabernet with powerful scents of blackcurrants surrounded by light aromas of leather, spices, oak, cedar and some leafy notes. A light smell of stable, eggs gone off does ruin its bouquet.
Its palate is medium bodied, fresh with tannins that get gripping only after a few sips. In flavours Cabernet is predominant again.
