Château Peyros Vieilles Vines is an 80/20 blend of Tannat/Cabernet Franc from Sud-Ouest France's Madiran. Peyros, the southernmost property of Madiran, takes its name from the Gascony word for “rocky location.” Dusky cassis, earthy violets, dark blue plums, anise, scrubby herbs and medicinal black cherry are lackadaisically drawn across ample, grippy tannins. Floral black raspberry lingers on the finish. This has some ways to go to resolve. Decant now and serve with lamb shank, or wait 3+ years.
