@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.

Pigmentum Cahors Malbec 2021

Nice pepper and current flavor. Enjoying with some cheeses and olive oil and bread. Tannins are well balanced with the fruit. I’m a big fan of Malbec so I might be biased but this is a very tasty wine. — 23 days ago

Clos Siguier

Cahors Malbec 2019

Jalapeño/bell pepper, raspberry, chalk, underripe blood orange rind, medium tannins (leaning towards medium plus), dried herbs, slightly smoky, cherry on the finish and nice acid. Previous bottle could meld with chicken, not so much on this one. Will save to have with some meat tomorrow 😁 — 4 months ago

Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 1990

[80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon] Leather, forest floor, maybe a little Brett, excellent structure and depth, despite its age, seems like it can easily age another 10-15 years, long, lingering finish, excellent Madiran! — 23 days ago

Gouleyant Cahors Malbec

Delicious. Light for a Malbec. — 9 days ago

Château Peyros

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 2018

Dense, tannic, medium weight texture, good acidity, a little stony earth and funk. Tastes Italian, but less rustic than that implies. A little on the simple side but tastes good wine for grownups. I imagine it could age a lot. 90. — 2 months ago
