"Inky ruby. Pungent mulberry and blueberry scents are deepened by cured tobacco and espresso. Round and supple, with palate-staining dark berry preserve flavors and a late-arriving hit of licorice. Shockingly velvet-textured for this variety, which is more likely to be inky, bitter and hard-edged (Haas noted its value as a blending grape, referring to it as "Dr. T"). Finishes with good sweet persistence and clarity. I'd never have guessed this to be tannat."
