Vignerons Du Madiran

Domaine Labranche-Laffont

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 2018

From 50+ year old (and even some 150+ year old old pre-phylloxera) vines. A really intriguing wine that needs food. Intense tannins + high acid that find their balance. Aromatic w/ lacquer (helloooo VA, but just enough to add a needed little lift), pepper steak, black plum, violet, cinnamon, paraffin, smoke. All of that plus a lingering exotic spice on the palate. Ideally paired with something rustic and fatty (we settled for lentils). Good winter warmer. — 9 months ago

L'Hallali Grande Réserve Gigondas Grenache Blend 2017

Earthy, terroir nose. Opened nicely. Palette- enjoyable , long finish, medium tannins . After one hour, improved, earthiness is a nice change from Napa cabs. — 2 years ago

Château Montus

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
