followed by a strong grip of tannins on the finish

This offers especially good quality for its level and is recommended

This is notably finer than the old vines cuvée if not quite a long or concentrated

The acidity is fine and well integrated into rich and juicy fruit

I much prefer the 2010 La Gaffelière that I tasted the week previously

Pibran other_regions_italy followed by a strong gripA sleeper of the vintage in many a year, the 2005 Pibran is once again a very successful wine. Dense opaque purple, with loads of crme de cassis fruit, licorice and incense, the wine is medium to full bodied, beautifully pure, and should hit full maturity in about 3 4 years and last at least 15 20.
