Tasting Note
The Tannat has a direct, fine, intelligent structure. The aromas are delicate with subtle hints of wood, cigar and mocha. Vieilles Vignes is the perfect accompaniment to two French favorites: duck breast and rib of beef; it also goes well with game, lamb, chocolate desserts and red fruit.
