Taltarni, Old Vine, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pyrenees, 2017
Showing leaner vintage derive elements the oak appears as malted vanilla with varietal cassis with a red fruit edge. Pastry, light spearmint and fresh earth give a savoury coda. Elegance with restraint, the tannins are subtle, lacy and just beginning their integration journey. A handsome and ready wine.
