* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tannat, with its high tannins, seems to lend itself as well to sweet fortified wines as do the Douro grapes of Port country. This is sweet, but firmly, solidly tannic, packed with wild berries and an edge of spice.

A densely tannic wine initially, but then one that broadens out with spice, sweet wood and fresh black currant fruits. The base wine of the Berthoumieu range, this is still a powerful statement.

A bright, breezy, fruity wine, wearing its fresh fruit and acidity easily. Grapefruit and other citrus fruits burst out of the glass, finishing with an apple skin structure.

Harvested in November 2007, this is sweet wine from the Madiran region of Gascony. In fact, it has dryness as much as sweetness, with perfumed flavors of white figs, nutmeg and touches of wood. The acidity goes right through to keep it all beautifully fresh.

Tannat at its most expressive, this wine boasts dense tannins that roll deeply around the wine. But the fruit is of such an intensity that it keeps up a fine equilibrium. It is a seamless, impressive wine, projecting its power easily.
