oh yeah baby - at last, well made Madiran at decent price point: inky brooding dark fruit & exotic spice, cocoa, coffee, licorice, layered, sexy full bodied fleshy - lingering finish — 2 months ago

Château Montus

Madiran Tannat Blend 2007

Sturdy and tannic. Not dark nor brooding. Still enough fruit to keep things balanced. I actually kinda missed the usual barn, poop and cattle smell. — 4 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, I agree with @Ira Schwartz that these Madiran from Montus last pretty much forever, I have a few 1995s still in the cellar.

XL Madiran Tannat 1999

This 25-year old really is a testament to the power and longevity of Tannat.

A bouquet of stewed blackberries, dried figs, and prunes mingling with tobacco leaf, leather, and hint of barnyard. subtle waft of black dark cocoa as well. On the palate the bold structure remains mostly intact. Bright acidity adds intensity. The finish is long, candied and savory.
