Reviews and Ratings

Victoria Clark Clark rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Cherry, tar, slight mineral notes. Smell is stronger than the taste. Very good
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby with purple hue. Light-bodied with a jammy, stewed, candied , Beaujolais qualities. A glass of melted Swedish Berries candy. Long candied finish. Good for $15.
Tasted: January 2016
Produced by Famille Laplace at Château d'Aydie, this robust southern French red is a blend of 70% Tannat and 30% cabernet sauvignon grapes that was partially barrel aged. The Tannat grape, named for its firm tannins, gives structure to the wine. - Community Wine Reviews
