Domaine Brana
Irouléguy Tannat Blend
Irouléguy, Pyrénees-Atlantiques, Southwest France, France
Been 4 years. Nose is wide open. Smoke, licorice, nougat, intense cassis, some rusted metal, mesquite bbq and gorgeous wet earth. Really compelling nose. Palate is like a Bordeaux with rich red fruits and tremendous structure and freshness. Not lactic at all like Bordeaux can get. Just teeming with energy and lovely red fruited sweetness on the finish. If France had a Tuscany it would be Irouleguy. Lots of pepper notes on the finish. Super juicy and so clean. A great wine but still better in 5 years.
