Vieux Céps = Old vines, and these are dramatically ancient, some over 80 years old and some actually pre-phylloxera, so perhaps over 150 years old. 80% Tannat plus the Cabernets, well-oaked. That oak shows with overt toast on the nose. Flamboyant flavours of cherry, plum and blueberry, all tinged with mocha. Dense & full-bodied.
