Bizarra Extravaganza Amphora Tannat
Very dark with purple rim. Stony, pure dark Tannat fruit, blackberry but without the sweetness that might suggest and perhaps even a little bit darkly floral. Deep rather than voluminous on the mid palate. Unexpectedly fine tannins for an unoaked version of a tannic variety. Bone dry, lively, fresh, leaving your mouth clean the way dark chocolate can do. The alcohol is well integrated. Unassuming but deep, delicious and persistent. Julia Harding MW. 16.5 points
