So sorry that @Delectable no longer corrects poorly identified wines... I have almost a dozen waiting. It has an impact on the will to continue using this app, which nevertheless drives us a lot. Any way here is my note for this Madiran PN - Château Bouscassé - by Alain Brumont:

Yes to winemaking, to elegant ageing testifying to Alain Brumont's beautiful savoir faire. The wine is balanced from one end to the other. Maybe due to the age of the vines roots, the slightly sharp mineral character that I like to taste on PNs is not expressed enough to fully satisfy the expectations of a northern palate, in my opinion. To taste in winters maybe. It remains a good quality/price ratio.

Oui à la vinification, à l’élevage élégant témoignant du beau savoir faire d’Alain Brumont. Le vin est équilibré d’un bout à l’autre. Âge des vignes peu être (?), le caractère minéral un peu tranchant que j’aime goûter sur les PN ne s’y exprime pas suffisamment pour contenter totalement les attentes d’un palais nordiste, selon moi. A regoûter en hivers peut être. Ça reste un bon rapport qualité/prix.
