Vintage 2002 / it’s so dark when you pour this in the glass, rooftile colour at the rim, I put my nose in the glass and... stand at the yard of a farmer. Autumnleaves and manure, graphite, laurel and an impression of plums. What a joy to smell, several layers. At this moment in the mouth a lot of tannin and bitters, also a refined taste of cherries. I am doubting to pour from the bottle or give it some air in the decanter... before dinner. It’s a tremendous joy to taste tannat / madiran. The vieilles vignes offers a lot more than the basic cuvee.

Awesome dinner pairing, powerful tannins but many layers of fruit and spice accomplishing it. Great.
