Château Montus

XL Madiran Tannat 1999

Ming L
9.4

The secondary and tertiary notes are on full display at year 25, yet there are still blackberry and raspberry lingering around. It’s rich, powerful, and silky smooth on the palate. Very rustic and savory yet so refined. The tannins are resolved but there is plenty of acidity to hold this for 5-6 more years before its slow descent.
Somewhat reminds me of Musar.

Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh Sec Blanc White Blend 1999

Glue-y nose a bit like an Hermitage blanc, broad palate, still very firm acids-- splendid with a fatty pork chop. Also great with live jazz. — 8 years ago

Cuvée Prestige Madiran Tannat 2000

Het duurt ruim 23 jaar, maar het is het wachten dubbel en dwars waard. Eindelijk zijn de tannines zacht en geïntegreerd. Samen met cassis en pruimen is het dan een heerlijke, flinke wijn. — 9 months ago

Thought this was Montus...
Lots of charcoal, toast, BBQ, olives, meat and minerals.
Slightly disappointing...

Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 2010

If you are into the power of Madiran then you will be served. Red berries with lots of tannin for this excellent 2010 vintage. Of cause the typical earthy tones balances well with the fruit and the punch. A great effort by Bouscasse, now compare with Montus... — 8 years ago

Madiran Tannat Blend 2017

9.0

My prior experience with Tannat was limited to a bottle of Bodega Garzon, and I was not really a fan. This bottle gives me new perspective about the variety.

A blend of Tannat/CS/CF (60/20/20), it opens with ripe black fruits tinged with peppery spices, dark cocoa, cherry cola, and just hint of barnyard. Velvety palate with surprisingly polished tannins.

My first Madiran. Chateau Bouscassé is the home estate of Alain Brumont who also owns the more famous Chateau Montus.
