Vignerons Du Madiran

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. — 2 days 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.

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. — 6 months ago

Château Bouscassé

Madiran Tannat Blend 2018

9.1

Just like the ‘17 bottling, this is a robust, structured red with deep black fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Started off with light barnyard, the Tannat delivers dense plum and licorice, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon’s cassis and Cabernet Franc’s herbal lift. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity promise another 8-10 years aging potential.
Such a great value!

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! — 6 months ago

XL Madiran Tannat 1999

Ming L
9.3

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.
