Intense, dark, almost bordering on inky black in appearance, gives aromas of red berry fruit and spices. This is complimented by some nuttiness, hints of oak and liquorice. A hearty wine with lots of character and works wonderfully well beef or game, spicy cured meats or mature cheeses.
I work in the Madiran vineyards, and I can assure you that the grapes are anything but small, in fact they are huge, almost as big as eating grapes!
