Cave du Marmandais 2011 Confidential Red (Côtes du Marmandais)

Country: France / Southwest France
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Cave du Marmandais / Confidential

This is a heavily wooded wine, with tannins giving a firm and dry character at this stage. It has weight and a powerful structure, but needs time to develop riper fruit and plum flavors. It’s always likely to show wood flavors, but certainly wait until 2017.
