The Story
A flagship Madiran crafted from old vines, showcasing concentrated blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, licorice, cocoa, and smoky spice. Powerful yet beautifully balanced, it delivers firm tannins, vibrant freshness, exceptional depth, and remarkable aging potential.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, venison, duck confit, aged Ossau-Iraty, Comté, or wild mushroom dishes.
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Aged for three years in a mix of small, large and older barrels, the wine is impressive. Smoky licorice aromas and powerful tannins show the concentration of the wine. Blending mainly Tannat with the two Cabernets, the wine is full of black-plum flavors, laced with still-young acidity. Drink from 2026.
93 Points - James Suckling
Driven yet elegant, showing currants, spiced cherries, bark and warm spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine, firm tannins. Focused, structured and refined, offering velvety texture and a long, subtle finish. Tannat, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Drink or hold.
